It's a good tool. I DO use them for aviation more than anything else for non-critical clamps/connectors. The only problem is this is very difficult to work with in tight quarters. When working with hose already on say a fixed location on/around engine or accessories, it's hard to get the flip on the tool to finalize the tightening. If working on joining 2 parts (clamping) while off the fixed location, it does a wonderful job. Although sold for 'aviation' is is NOT an approved FAA permanent solution. Also be aware when working with aviation lockwire, the more it is moved/twisted the more brittle it becomes. If you screw something up first go, pull it all off, then use new length of lockwire.
i hate to disappoint people, but i would not use this on an Aircraft, you kidding me? i used it on a SemiTruck few times for the Turbo Boost pipe joining with silicone sleeve, and every time after few miles comes loose.. and the problem is that the ends of the wire unfolds back to straight. this would work great for a Garden hose 🙆♂️
Appreciate youfor taking the time to produce, share the video. $70, is beyond my budget This video was offered to me, after I viewed a video, of someone who shared his home shop version, appears, others have as well.
1:31 this is a great tool, but I respectfully disagree with your assertion about traditional worm type hose clamps. They’ve been used for 100 years and they don’t leak if they are installed properly.
"respectfully disagree with your assertion about traditional worm type hose clamps. " Phrased waaaaaaay nicer than I could ever have imagined! Nice work Dave.
Worked in R&D division of major manufacturers for 22 years, additional 7 years field work under VERY dirty and rough conditions, worked on cars, boats, you name it since 1950s, worked under certified aircraft mechanics, and frankly . . . Screw type hose clamps work, but only OK and not so well, really. If you ever work on a car, get the right tool and DO NOT replace the spring wire hose clamps with screw type, use the manufacturer supplied spring clamp. Although screw types work 98.5% of the time, the 1.5% failure rate will get you wishing that you had not used the screw type.
Depends on the application. I have used these on automotive and they work fine, but I have a laser at work with a pump and hose and these do not work on it.
Ild disagree also. There’s certain things the standard clamp works great for. One it don’t with is pool equipment temp sensors. They’re designed for a pipe clamp to go around them. But take the 2” pvc plumbing line stick around a 1/4” hole in it and the sensor is like a small finger you push into the pipe. Except around the sensor finger that slides into the hole is a flat surface. With a small oring on it. So essentially. You’re tightening a quarter sized flat surface against a round pipe with the oring in between. The standard clamps start pulling that flat in the direction it is being tightened. Though it’s made for a hose clamp to attach it to the plumbing. But if you don’t fight it an have it positioned if it’s possible depending if the pipe is close enough to other crap. You’ll get it on with a drip or spray an have to redo it. Than being the sensor is plastic. You can’t really crank down on it to bad without cracking it. So that’s one thing g I’ve had issues with them with. There was others I seen people commented about also. But for most just pipe an hose things only their ok. An the other upside to this type is. It’s whatever size you want it to be. Also can always use a thicker wire and use it as a bander to hold something to something or bundle something if needed to a what not. So actually had more use than just a standard hose clamp
Great. To start fixing the wires on the tool, you do not have to match the notch on the wire. Just push the pin through the loop, fix the wires and end with fitting the wire in the notch before tightening . I also move it up once or twice while tightening, it helps to clean up the alignment of the wire before the final flip-over. Cheers
Its a brilliant tool. I first saw this on some Russian prepper youtube channel. He carries one of these, wire and pliers wherever he goes. He does all kinds of crazy shit with it. He even repaired split wooden tool handles with it and they last as if new. The genius factor is that it is effectively a machine that turns $1 worth of wire into $10 of hose clamp, and you dont even have to travel with the correct size of clamp. One clamptite, some wire and some pliers and you can literally scale the fix to suit the job. It is an incredibly underestimated tool. Not gonna lie though ... I aint surprised they are a big hit in Russia hahahahaha
Lee Valley Tools sells a ClampTite with what looks like an anodized shaft (instead of stainless) for only $40 Canadian. When using gear clamps on boats you always use two. Place a gear head on either side of the hose. This process eliminates the leaks that can come with that style of hose clamp. Leaks are bad... very bad on a boat! The ClampTite might be a solution for boaters too!
I see on the comments that people are saying that you need "a foot" of space all the way round. That's not true. You can get away with five inches of clearance on one side, (180°), and one inch of clearance on the other side. You have to be neat with the wire from the start, and hold it in place with your fingers, as you fit the tightener. I must admit it would be nice to have loads of clearance, but life is never easy.!
Own one for years. Love this thing. works beyond expectation. ss wire is best. tool will pull steel wire apart. Last thing to do is push the ends flush with the hose so nothing is extended to cut you hand as you grope for something in a confined space like a c-clamp will. For a gadget guy like me it is my money's worth.
I’ve never used one of those before, but I used to be a helicopter mechanic in the US Army and have done hundreds of safety wires. I would not cut those two wires at the end like that. Guaranteed, someone with cut the shit out of their arms or hands. Leave those two wires long when you disassemble it and twist those two wires together as a pigtail about 1/2” long then bend it down out of the way. That same wire wrap technique using rope is called a prusik knot. It’s a friction hitch used as brake for rope climbing systems. It very important there are no twists or kinks. I would not prewrap the wire like he showed to measure. Every bend, turn or twist weakens the wire. Just estimate the extra length since it’s getting cut off anyway.
Guaranteed? Well, I own this tool and have used it to make numerous hose clamps. At first I was skeptical that the ends would scratch me or someone in my family. But it does just fine. I can rub my arm against it and not even a scratch.
This tool sells for $103 on amazon but if you look around there are probably places that will charge you even more. You can build one yourself from scraps for free.
All hoses are terminated this way in the aerospace industry. Traditional hose clamps are not reliable enough. Your car just stops rolling, airplanes fall out of the sky!
i use it to secure wood handles on my tools, like chisels for example, one of those at the neck of the wood handle where the tool goes into, and one at the top where you strike, and that wood handle is not going to split, ever
You could probably use a pair of end nips to achieve the same result. I do see where this tool has the advantage on a squishy rubber hose where you need to take up a lot of slack.
useful, disadvantage is you can't readjust the clamp after the ends are cut off, which is needed over time as the hose rubber compresses and takes a set. That's why most hose eventually leak. Better types of hose clamps have some time of spring feature built in to account for this over time. Like the European Kobra, the japanese spring clamps or even Oetiker ear type clamps. Still this simple wire system has many advantages too.... cheap wire of infinite lengths can be used and it's very low profile once done.
You wouldn’t want to reconnect the tool to it to tighten it. Yould just replace it. Or after some time. Slap a second one. One group of wired through the middle of the original two groups
it's a cool tool but no one with any sense ever made the argument that a regular band/hose clamp is pulling harder on one side than another. the movement in one location causes a different problem, the small holes can dig in where the band is moving and scrape/cut away some of the material on the hose but the pressure is basically universally the same. The clamp is pulling against the hose it can not pull harder on one side than the opposite side.
They do cause issues with certain things. Not so much hoses. But like pool equipment normally it’s 1-1/2”-2” pvc pipe. Well there’s a temp sensor that around a 1/4 inch hole is drilled into the pipe. An the temp sensor is pushed into it. Well around the temp sensor is a small oring that smashes up to the pipe to seal it. An the temp sensor is designed for a pipe clamp to go around it. But when your tightening up that flat face with the oring of the sensor to a round pipe. An that clamp is pulling in one direction when your at the point the clamp isn’t just loose. It ever slightly pulled that temp sensor in the direction it’s pulling/tightening. So it smashes down one side of that oring really well. But unless you pay attention an kinda work with it to account for its pull. The other side of the oring has less pressure and it’ll spray a little water or drip. Than it’s loosen it up a try an reclamp it in a try again. That’s one instance that Ives crossed a good few times that that one direction the regular style clamps cause issues. I’m sure theirs others.
The worm clamps are also good but not as versatile. If you are going to use worm clamps, get the good quality stainless steel ones. The cheap ones are rubbish.
Hey look!!! Im 3 years late ... hehehe. Anyway for future reference if i may suggest.... just use contrast coloured objects next time. Cause its hard to see the shiney wire you make clamp with on the shiney pipe. I know what you did as i also saw other videos regarding this clamp and tool. You are however 1st that i saw , mentioning and showing how to also remove a clamp . Still good video so i gave you a like... even though its 3 years later
There was no edited out time there. It took longer because a) this was the FIRST TIME I ever did this, and b) I was using the wrong tool, as I mentioned in the video. With needle-nose pliers, it comes off in seconds.
Not true. It spreads out the force over a large area - you can even add additional loops if you're that worried about it. It's easy to cut off and replace, the hose does not need to be cut off.
Scott MacLean the Force is only spread out if the wires are kept tight together. If they separate it’s the same as an individual wire trying to cut through.
@@herbiesnerd Have you ever used this tool? No? Well I have and you are wrong. I have used it on water hoses and air hoses. It works fine and does not cut into the rubber unless you go crazy with the tension. It does not need that much tension to work. A slight indentation of the rubber and stop.
@@bbaucom2 agreed, been personally using this technique but not the tool for about 50 years, biggest issue ( not hard) is determining correct tension, it's easy to use to much tension, as a kid even occasionally broke the tie wire
It’s the small diameter stainless braid hose and the same color wrap. For demo purposes a piece of black abs pipe or some garden hose with high contrast so the stainless wire clamp being groomed shows up easier would be better.
Honestly, that exact hose clamp you used as example in beginning can not really be disputed. They work great. Have worked great for years. But, with that said, great video afterwards
Russian yutuber put online the schmatics of a such a tool for free. Would be interesting to see if this particular tool was out on sale before or after...
@@nominalvelocity concept and use grossly predates ww2, I've been using this technique for a little under 50years, learned it off my old man, who if alive grossly predates ww2, he learnt off his old man, which dates back to late 1800s, can't say how many generations before that, but Concept and use has been used in wire straining and wire fencing in agricultural use to my personal knowledge that far back and realistically , probably back to when wire fencing was first used starting around late 1850s, however the technique may well predate this, as it can be used with string or rope or even plant material so long as the ends are adequately secured. Grandfather on mothers side came from generations of fishing and used to handmake and sell nets to supplement income, he used a similar technique/knot for attaching lines and nets to cork floats, hand line grips and even on boats, oars etc The biggest issue with the technique is learning how much tension is correct, it is easy as in this video to over tighten and damage eg the hose. Taken to extreme you can overtighten and snap your tie wire reasonably easily if not familiar with the technique. All part of the learning process.
The first clamp you show actually cuts into the rubber, effectively you lose some of the outer rubber, eventually that hose will leak, so you tighten it more, then eventually it cuts through hose enough so you have to replace it. Do not purchase those clamps. On large hoses, and I mean LARGE hoses, it might be OK, but on small hoses, like on a vehicle radiator for example, they don't last.
One can actually build a similar tool for about $3 at home. And make a small diameter one and a larger diameter one. Mine is 1/4" and 3/8". Don't pay 30-50 bucks to some schmo, build it yourself.
You should not be straightening and manipulating the wire so much before wrapping. The wire must be as flexible as possible and not cold worked. Only the ends should be worked when you turn the tails.
Whomever invented this tool and process had A LOT of time on his hands and never worked in cramped spaces. Standard hose clamps and a [true] aviation grade or motorsports safety wire pliers with good quality wire are much better options, cheaper, with more versatility and are far better in the field, racetrack or in an aviation setting... However, it's a good video for anyone curious about this tool.
@@uglyDuci loop wire the same way, grip free ends with pliers ( I was doing this with fencing pliers 50 years ago, but any pliers will work) hard against loop where free ends exit loop, use pliers handles leverage to lever loose loops tight, the resulting bent wire will hold adequate tension, if necessary repeat process, if not, finish folding ends down and snip off. Done. Technique has been used for generations to my knowledge in farming , but probably predates wire use which dates to 1850s, as same Technique can be used with string etc. Biggest issue (not hard) is not over tensioning and excessively biting into what you are clamping or even breaking your tie wire.
i many cases the wire clamp is nice but you do not understand how the hose clamp you dis at start works!! you dont even understand physics, let me guess if you have a flat tire you can still drive ?? it only flat on one side!!
Regardless of how you think a manufactured hose clamp works this tool still has extreme value. Being able to make a clamp of variable size out of a bundle of cheap wire to fix multiple diameter objects is very handy. You can buy a $8 bundle of wire and make 50 + clamps VS $2 + for a pack of 2 manufactured hose clamps of select size. Oh wait you need a large size M.Hose clamp now? Better run back to the store and $2+ more money lol. I’ll take another strand out of my bundle of wire on the spot and make a clamp. Plus using the wire clamp method you can clamp around objects that are more oval shaped with perfect clamping pressure around the entirety of the object , try that with your M. Hose Clamp
Would not recommend for tight spaces. A pre-made squeeze clamp in right size (wide variety) is just as good and a breeze to install with a flexible clamp tool - 1 minute or less. This is good for emergencies and some things but, you can end up cutting into hoses with the wire with too much torque and ruin a hose & create a leak. Its only good in my opinion if you have no way to buy the proper squeeze clamps. Engineers made the squeeze clamps and they distribute the correct pressure all around the house diameter and won't cut into a hose either.
It's the reason it's not uncommon to see doubled up hose clamps on eg compressor airlines, because they leak..., a proper compression fitting works by reasonably consistent pressure all around, again , these leak if just squeezed on with pliers rather than swaged on, this technique will work in this situation. I know because I have used it in an manufacturing industrial environment
❤Constructive criticism, no disrespect; lose the background noise. The subject & your narration of it is great! The addition of distracting, monotonous & annoying music ruined the vid for me.
Sorry - your comments about the unequal clamping force from a standard screw-drive hose clamp are COMPLETELY off base. Squeezing force applied by the ring has to be equal all around by laws of physics and mechanics. Only thing leading to unequal force will be if the clamping ring is 'stuck' to the hose on one side.
The clamp title tool is good for hoses with plenty of space around, not for hoses that are already in a tight space. Your review/explanation of the standard clamp is flawed!!! The wire loops around a hose also twist around as the tool is tightened, in fact even more twisting around a hose than a standard clamp, so much so can even cut in to a hose based on your standard hose explanation. Derp! Do a few more practice run before shooting the demo video, you made the tool looked so cumbersome to use...
It's a good tool. I DO use them for aviation more than anything else for non-critical clamps/connectors. The only problem is this is very difficult to work with in tight quarters. When working with hose already on say a fixed location on/around engine or accessories, it's hard to get the flip on the tool to finalize the tightening. If working on joining 2 parts (clamping) while off the fixed location, it does a wonderful job. Although sold for 'aviation' is is NOT an approved FAA permanent solution. Also be aware when working with aviation lockwire, the more it is moved/twisted the more brittle it becomes. If you screw something up first go, pull it all off, then use new length of lockwire.
These things are awesome!
i hate to disappoint people, but i would not use this on an Aircraft, you kidding me? i used it on a SemiTruck few times for the Turbo Boost pipe joining with silicone sleeve, and every time after few miles comes loose.. and the problem is that the ends of the wire unfolds back to straight. this would work great for a Garden hose 🙆♂️
I could see the need for space being a real issue in small engine bays, but most hoses have a bit of space around them.
@@B7_RS4 You aren't using the right kind of wire if the ends are unfolding.

An that clamp is pulling in one direction when your at the point the clamp isn’t just loose. It ever slightly pulled that temp sensor in the direction it’s pulling/tightening.
So it smashes down one side of that oring really well. But unless you pay attention an kinda work with it to account for its pull. The other side of the oring has less pressure and it’ll spray a little water or drip.
Than it’s loosen it up a try an reclamp it in a try again.
That’s one instance that Ives crossed a good few times that that one direction the regular style clamps cause issues. I’m sure theirs others.

Russian yutuber put online the schmatics of a such a tool for free. Would be interesting to see if this particular tool was out on sale before or after...
This things been around since WWII
@@nominalvelocity concept and use grossly predates ww2, I've been using this technique for a little under 50years, learned it off my old man, who if alive grossly predates ww2, he learnt off his old man, which dates back to late 1800s, can't say how many generations before that, but
Concept and use has been used in wire straining and wire fencing in agricultural use to my personal knowledge that far back and realistically , probably back to when wire fencing was first used starting around late 1850s, however the technique may well predate this, as it can be used with string or rope or even plant material so long as the ends are adequately secured. Grandfather on mothers side came from generations of fishing and used to handmake and sell nets to supplement income, he used a similar technique/knot for attaching lines and nets to cork floats, hand line grips and even on boats, oars etc
The biggest issue with the technique is learning how much tension is correct, it is easy as in this video to over tighten and damage eg the hose. Taken to extreme you can overtighten and snap your tie wire reasonably easily if not familiar with the technique. All part of the learning process.
The first clamp you show actually cuts into the rubber, effectively you lose some of the outer rubber, eventually that hose will leak, so you tighten it more, then eventually it cuts through hose enough so you have to replace it. Do not purchase those clamps. On large hoses, and I mean LARGE hoses, it might be OK, but on small hoses, like on a vehicle radiator for example, they don't last.
Good but some places on car engines u have no room to all that..
Very true.
What does the hook on the tip of the tool do? Does it grab the wire? Anyone know? Thank you.
You push the wire into it, as shown in the video.
Cant see it being much help in a tight spot. Sure takes longer than the screw clamp.
thx for the nice Video
30 pound yes but 70+ narr
Someone never taught Scott to spit on it…….
if you want to test the strength you should test with hydraulic hose or compresor
Last years model is on ebay for $29/ free shipping. CLAMPTITE

Thanks
One can actually build a similar tool for about $3 at home. And make a small diameter one and a larger diameter one. Mine is 1/4" and 3/8". Don't pay 30-50 bucks to some schmo, build it yourself.
😂
I'll buy that for a dollar.
You sell it with 100 and can one build it him self
This is a lot of work plus the ridiculous cost of this tool. I don’t see the value.
Wire cut the hose.
What you say about clips is not true.
Sounds like funeral music.
A little expensive stick 😆

You should not be straightening and manipulating the wire so much before wrapping. The wire must be as flexible as possible and not cold worked. Only the ends should be worked when you turn the tails.
Whomever invented this tool and process had A LOT of time on his hands and never worked in cramped spaces. Standard hose clamps and a [true] aviation grade or motorsports safety wire pliers with good quality wire are much better options, cheaper, with more versatility and are far better in the field, racetrack or in an aviation setting... However, it's a good video for anyone curious about this tool.
@@uglyDuci loop wire the same way, grip free ends with pliers ( I was doing this with fencing pliers 50 years ago, but any pliers will work) hard against loop where free ends exit loop, use pliers handles leverage to lever loose loops tight, the resulting bent wire will hold adequate tension, if necessary repeat process, if not, finish folding ends down and snip off. Done.
Technique has been used for generations to my knowledge in farming , but probably predates wire use which dates to 1850s, as same Technique can be used with string etc. Biggest issue (not hard) is not over tensioning and excessively biting into what you are clamping or even breaking your tie wire.
That thing is cool but grossly overpriced.
Make your own cuz
@@pienapple6969 I bought a similar product that does the same which is a lot cheaper!
70 bucks??? Seems excessive to me.
definitely not as easy as seen on tv.
i many cases the wire clamp is nice but you do not understand how the hose clamp you dis at start works!! you dont even understand physics, let me guess if you have a flat tire you can still drive ?? it only flat on one side!!
Regardless of how you think a manufactured hose clamp works this tool still has extreme value. Being able to make a clamp of variable size out of a bundle of cheap wire to fix multiple diameter objects is very handy. You can buy a $8 bundle of wire and make 50 + clamps VS $2 + for a pack of 2 manufactured hose clamps of select size. Oh wait you need a large size M.Hose clamp now? Better run back to the store and $2+ more money lol. I’ll take another strand out of my bundle of wire on the spot and make a clamp.
Plus using the wire clamp method you can clamp around objects that are more oval shaped with perfect clamping pressure around the entirety of the object , try that with your M. Hose Clamp
Would not recommend for tight spaces. A pre-made squeeze clamp in right size (wide variety) is just as good and a breeze to install with a flexible clamp tool - 1 minute or less. This is good for emergencies and some things but, you can end up cutting into hoses with the wire with too much torque and ruin a hose & create a leak. Its only good in my opinion if you have no way to buy the proper squeeze clamps. Engineers made the squeeze clamps and they distribute the correct pressure all around the house diameter and won't cut into a hose either.
Quanto custa uma ferramenta dessa
Your claim of the "problem" with conventional hose clamps is ridiculous.
Andrew Dynes He is correct Vinny!
It's the reason it's not uncommon to see doubled up hose clamps on eg compressor airlines, because they leak..., a proper compression fitting works by reasonably consistent pressure all around, again , these leak if just squeezed on with pliers rather than swaged on, this technique will work in this situation. I know because I have used it in an manufacturing industrial environment
❤Constructive criticism, no disrespect; lose the background noise.
The subject & your narration of it is great! The addition of distracting, monotonous & annoying music ruined the vid for me.
تصوير سيئ للغاية
Please don't talk over music. Why do you do that?
This guys review almost made me not buy the tool.. there’s much better, quicker reviews on CZcams !!
SO FUCKING WHAT! DONT BUY IT DUMB FUCKHEAD!
Sorry - your comments about the unequal clamping force from a standard screw-drive hose clamp are COMPLETELY off base. Squeezing force applied by the ring has to be equal all around by laws of physics and mechanics. Only thing leading to unequal force will be if the clamping ring is 'stuck' to the hose on one side.
The clamp title tool is good for hoses with plenty of space around, not for hoses that are already in a tight space. Your review/explanation of the standard clamp is flawed!!! The wire loops around a hose also twist around as the tool is tightened, in fact even more twisting around a hose than a standard clamp, so much so can even cut in to a hose based on your standard hose explanation. Derp! Do a few more practice run before shooting the demo video, you made the tool looked so cumbersome to use...
