I think I mention this every time these come up, but after watching our plumber struggle for like 15 minutes while trying to replace one single-wire spring hose clamp inside of a small metal cabinet with very little clearance, I thought, “Surely there exists a pair of pliers which have a notch in the face that would accommodate the ends of such a clamp” and a month or two later, I saw these. I now own two pairs (and am resisting the urge to get a third!) and find them to pretty much be my (non-needlenose) go-to pliers for various home and auto stuff since I never know if that notch will be needed and about 1 out of 10 times, it is and I’m glad I have them.
