  • Never go out to the hardware store for hose clamps again. This super simple tool works on the same principles as the famous Clamptite tool for just a few dollars, is easy to make, and requires basic tools that most households have. It uses 304 stainless steel safety wire to provide an airtight clamp for water or air hose barb fittings, PEX connectors, and even pipe.

    What a fabulous video production. Throw in a clever tool and an ingenious way to make it for a tiny sum and it kept me happy and fascinated for the entire ten minutes. I was sorry when it ended. I'm going to make one, purely because it looks like so much fun. Many thanks.

      Hello David H, Thank you for your kindness. I'm glad you found value for your viewing time. The little tool is super cool to use. Since the original video I've just magnetized the tip and it stays inside the bolt without the need for the slotting, grooving, and bread tie part. Finding a way for it to stay but still be able to rotate was the challenging bit for me.
      Best of luck with your projects!

      Hello AUMM, Thank you for commenting. These wire tension tools are awesome, for sure. I needed to fasten the end of a garden fence to my porch post. I was able to fish the wire through a piece of clear tubing to keep from marring the post and was able to pull off a very strong clamp that was about 9 inches long. You'll find a boat load of uses for it.

    Hi Victor. I am building/converting my new HF blast cabinet using your blast cabinet videos and material list. The biggest departure from your list that I am doing is using your DIY clamp system to to seal everything. All the air connections and water connections without any screw clamps. Before I start, I do have one question, where did you get your stainless wire? I use .020, .025, .032, and .041 inch stainless safety wire on helicopters at work everyday but I haven't been able to find the thicker wire like you have. Thanks again for sharing your videos, materials lists, and your expertise with us. I really appreciate all you have done.

    Great video. I plan on making one. Just a couple suggestions though... Drill the bolt and insert the rod before cutting the slot into the side of the bolt. As soon as you make contact with the rod, remove it and it will be marked in the correct spot for the groove. Also a small ball bearing inserted between the rod and the inside of the bolt would make it work smoother.

      Hello 2Lane Blacktop, thank you for commenting. Great suggestions. The rotating tip does bind on me at times. The ball bearing idea is awesome. Do you have any suggestions for a better way to hold the rod in place? The bread tie gets loose and needs to be retightened after several uses.
      Best of luck with your improved version.

      @@vbared I've been thinking about that, I figured that might be an issue. Maybe use the side of a small flat file to square off the groove in the rod, then instead of slotting the bolt, drill a small hole and insert a small roll pin. Might not be enough meat to hold the roll pin though. If that is the case, secure a nut to the bolt with J-B weld and drill through both the bolt and nut. I'm not sure what size bolt you used, but moving up one size might also work better for the roll pin idea. 🤔

    Wire clamp tools are the bomb! I made one out of a stainless steel turn buckle awhile back. I've replaced at least four dozen worm-drive hose clamps on air lines, air line repairs, garden houses, garden hose repairs, and a bunch of other automotive and power equipment situations.
    I do have a welder so in my home-built tool, I used a longer all-thread rod and welded a large hex nut to the top of the turning screw post. The nut makes hand tightening easier. And, if extra leverage is needed, a 16 penny nail can be inserted through the welded-on large nut.
    Here's the basis of the turn buckle tool:

      Stick welding is cheap to get into... No gas cylinders required. And once you master stick welding, the other processes (MIG and TIG) are just variations on a theme. You can pick up an old-school tombstone buzz box off FB Marketplace or Craigslist for around a C-note. Hit the salvage yard up for some scrap steel to run a few beads and just start doing it. It does take a bit of effort to pick up the skills. But, if you're already into mechanical things, you've got the drive to stick with something until it works.

      That's basically how safety wire pliers work, but I've found that I end up twisting it a bit too much sometimes and it breaks in the twist.... I've made a tool that creates similar type wire wraps for air and water hoses and it seems to work quite well and I do not tend to break the wire during the tightening... The only problem I've found is that using 18-gauge steel wire when doing very small air lines can get a bit "fiddly"...

  • @CurmudgeonExtraordinaire
    @CurmudgeonExtraordinaire Před 3 lety +2

    An easier solution for matching the the groove on the inner rod and the slot on the outer bolt would be:
    1. Start out with the ungrooved rod placed in the hole that you drilled in the end of the bolt, fully bottomed out.
    2. Clamp the assembly in the vise.
    3. Use a hacksaw or Dremel-type tool with a micro cut-off wheel to cut into the side of the bolt until it touches the inner rod. Depending upon how tight the rod is to the hole in the bolt, the rod might start rotating at this point, otherwise, just check periodically to see if you have cleared it. You could also do the cut without the rod in there until you can see the inner hole, put the rod back in there, and cut a slight amount more, thus marking the rod. The purpose of this is to mark the rod at the EXACT point where the slot is without the need to possibly make a mistake transferring measurements.
    4. Remove the rod and cut a groove in it where it was marked by step #3.
    Since the hole that you drilled into the end of the bolt is not flat at the bottom and is instead the profile of the end of the drill bit, for a better fit, it a person could use a file while rotating the rod in a drill to taper the end of the rod to match the end of the drill bit. This would need to be done before marking the groove on the rod since it will slightly affect the seating depth.
    Nice simple design for the tool though... Thanks...

MIG welding wire is kind of springy though and might make a good homemade c-clip. I used it once to make a c-clip for a car's window crank handle after I dropped the one that came on the vehicle and I couldn't find it after searching for quite awhile. It worked, but for that particular usage, it needed to be thicker than the MIG wire I had on hand.

    Why not just shape & Grove the end of the bolt instead?

      Hello Darrin, Thank you for commenting and suggestion. Since the actual bolt needs to be turned by the ratchet the tip must stay fixed to the wire. It's tricky to explain but when you build it you'll see what I mean.
      Best of luck with your projects :)

    Nothing wrong with using wire to hold hoses on it’s a method older then hose clamps

      Hello lucasmiddendorff7166, Thank you for commenting. Yeah, I agree with you. They are super clean looking, cheap, and easy to use.

      Nothing wrong with using wire? You should use wire! It's even pressure all around the hose, a hose clamp is not. They're junk.

    Never use more clamp pressure to hose what is require.

      Hello Jari, Thank you for commenting. You're right, I've noticed that one round of the wire applies enough pressure for a trouble free seal. The double version like in the video had more pressure on the outside of the clamp than in the center.
      Best of luck with your projects!

    Great idea, but the shaky video and too-close images was hard to watch.

    • @vbared
      @vbared  Před 3 lety +1

      Hello R Chastain, Thank you for commenting. You're right it could have been way better. I mistakenly shot all the video in portrait mode and had to crop it in the editor. That caused the zoomed in and shaky look. I'll work towards improving future videos.
      Cheers!

      C-клип был бы лучшим способом для меня удержать этот наконечник на месте. Как и вы, я в конечном итоге использовал толстую смазку подшипников для смазки и удержания наконечника. Желаем удачи в ваших проектах
