Wimpy Brake Hose Clamp? 900 1994

I was flushing the brake lines this weekend, and I dutifully purchased hose clamping pliers from IPD after reading the FAQ's. When I attempted to clamp the line, the line did not collapse hardly at all, even after I opened the bleeder nut and maximum pressure was exerted with the pliers onto the rubber brake line. What is up with that? I was suprised after so much talk in the FAQ on clamping so no backwash gets into the ABS system. Are these clamping pliers just wimpy?
