If I have to, I'll use whatever pliers or channellocks that I have.
But I'm sure there isn't much room which will be the real problem I
think.
I looked at a few DIY videos (but by no means all) where about half
used the
plastic zip ties which I think won't hold up with cold, heat & oil
around.
The other half used a metal clamp, about half of which used a
typical hose
clamp worm gear type (which will hold up but which have sharp
bouncy ends).
The rest used a steel clamp that came with the package but none (so
far)
showed how they tightened/crimped that steel clamp but this one vide. https://youtu.be/m_iIkZEl6qY?t=293
Notice he only needed to _pull_ tightly on the end to tighten that
clamp!
For just pulling on a wire to close a hose clamp I might not need
much room.
But where do I get those pull-type hose clamps?

This is the same tool used for the CV boots that is used with the
smaller rack boot clamps.

I like your idea of seeing if I can get it as a loaner tool.
And that video was pretty good in that it was as real as real can get.
But what scares me is the video you provided shows the guy cursing away at the clamp even as he has the entire shaft right in front of him on the desk! https://youtu.be/uHlkv9kdVhY?t=1825
Can you imagine how difficult it would be on the vehicle?
