The hinge is integrally formed with the first and second jaws and includes an inner hinge portion and an outer hinge portion. The inner hinge portion has an inner surface that is contiguous with the first and second clamping surfaces of the first and second jaws, and an outer surface. The inner surface of the inner hinge portion is defined by a plurality of curved sections.
