ClampTite Hose clamp tool

I saw this cool tool at the SEMA 2013 Show. It is made by ClampTite, basically it uses Mechanics wire to form a hose clamp. Looks like it works very well and simple to use. Much better looking clamp then the ugly regular screw type clamps plus one size fits all. Unfortunately I myself will never buy one as I can't justify the money they charge for these, Around 60 bucks.

I used these things 50 years ago, been looking for them for a long time!

This thing could be a life saver out in the field. Most service trucks have a roll of mechanics wire.

I made a field repair to the handle of a 12lbs sledgehammer, we used it for months after that. I have wanted to make a larger version that would handle “coat hanger” weight wire. Not that I have a reason for that extra strength often, but it would be truly impressive....

Nice video. Crisp and Clear. No going around the bush.
If there was a star rating I would like to give 5 out of 5!!!

I was so sick of dragging my repaired air hose around catching on seemed like everything. Then you grab the hose and slide it through your hand rolling it up and... wham... you run into that screw clamp with the sharp tail sticking out. My saying was... you got to have some blood to repair things.
I saw this and made one. The first wire was too lite. The second wire too heavy. I did get 5 wire clamps that are working but I would rather have a heavier wire. So when I find the one great wire to use I will love this . I no long pull my air hose and hang up on things nor do I shed blood using the air hose any longer. Thanks for this invention.

I remember my dad having one of these years ago. Times were tight alot shade tree repairs made just to get by. When I get home I'm gonna make me one of these and by some good wire. It's worth it just to have any size clamp you need within reach.

I was going to buy one but their pricing is ridiculous so I made my own (simpler design) and it works great.

Love it when these demos are clear and simple. 325k views. Imagine how that guy would feel if he knew 325k people were standing around his bench watching haha

[jimmylovesbikes]

Your demonstration deserves an A+++ on how slick and easy you make it look! As if you've done hundreds or even thousands of them

I saw a fella make one of these (on YT) in his shop but he moved so quickly I couldn't tell how he was using it. It was a work of art - the one he made... And it set me off looking for one I could purchase. Fantastic tool...

I'm too cheap to pay the retail cost of the beautiful ClampTite tool too! So, I made one out of a stainless steel turn buckle body. The video how-to is on YouTube.

And let me tell you! I've replaced three or four dozen worm drive hose clamps on air lines, garden hoses, propane hoses, etc. I use it for the small crimp clamps on fuel pump sending units in automobiles when just replacing the fuel pump and not the whole assembly.

Worm drive hose clamps catch on anything and everything... The wire clamps do not. Air hoses used in roofing jobs can't be repaired with worm drive clamps since the clamps tear up shingles. But, the wire clamps make damaged roofing air lines perfectly serviceable again.

I'm fully converted to the wire clamp cult. Yes I am!

Super clever tool. Reminds me of the safety wire pliers.

I bought this tool at a boat show in MD years ago. I have used it a few times but it is hard to do unless you use it all the time. Sure it looks easy at the demo and it is but you need to do it a lot and often to remember how to do it.

[karlgie]

Its great beacuse you don't have to keep many steel hose bands in different sizes to fasten any hose you like

[coburnlowman]

Really neat clamp that won't snag but kinda pricey for the shade tree mechanic.

[ebeskipper]

really good demo, not too much and not too little

[shawbros]

Very good tool, at a not so good price.
Their price will limit the popularity of this tool.

[jscopa]

Sonho com essa ferramenta há anos ... pena que não é vendido no Brasil !!! 😭😤 ... (I've been dreaming about this tool for years... too bad it's not sold in Brazil!!!)

[prodigy]

2 advantages to this method...1, you're not restricted by one size clamp. 2, you don't have a big lump on your connection (buckle)

[kimnielsenthewordyvikingett]

Thats the best one I've seen yet 🤣 bravo bravo bravo bravo 👏 either let me buy one or I'll have to make my own witch might not happen for a
