I've got to bring this to the forum's attention.

Clamptool.com

Basically, it's a little tool that allows you to make VERY strong jubilee clip style clamps to any size, using wire. The website have apparantly used it to clamp hydraulic hoses together!

I really wanted one as soon as I saw it, but couldn't wait so made one of my own from some stainless rod, a wingnut and a roll pin.. It's fantastic. Much better than carrying tonnes of jubilee clips about - just a clamp tool and some wire.

Get / make one!

Si,

Did you have to paint your nails before you used it..?





Or were they already done......

Eh?

Tart?


Les.

The Southern Africans have used this idea for years. All they use is a screwdriver or a pair of pliers.

ahem....

Bugger! Must have been a day off.....

Looks like an interesting tool though

Are they the stick on variety, not that I have knowledge of such matters.

Perhaps they are easier to slip on and off between shifts

I've had a couple of these for years (one for each vehicle). I've only needed it a few times, but it really is as good as they claim, though can be a bit fiddly to use. I don't think you can do what it does with a screwdriver or a pair of pliers, as you can wind in a lot of wire tension without repeatedly twisting the wire, which weakens it.

Edit : I didn't get any response from that website when I bought mine... I got them from www.akcooltools.com
