SiWhite Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All they use is a screwdriver or a pair of pliers. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

headhunter Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSD Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
