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.

[@diverbob8]

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

[@roberthenson6153]

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....

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

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

[@tmsunderrajan]

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!!!

[@terryeffinp]

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

[@jeraldhite9744]

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 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.

[@russellstephan6844]

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 KZbin. 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!

[@superbmediacontentcreator]

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.

There are several DIY versions that are cheap and easy to make. One consists of a bolt, nut, and washer and can be made with just a hacksaw or file.

[@petermartin9478]

A worm drive hose clamp is good to about 35 psi if ... anything beyond that is bonus and probably unreliable . The double wrap clamp as demonstrated is good for thousands of psi , or , hydraulics . Entirely up to the clamper skil as to the quality of the clamp .

[@rq1624]

neat tool, but I think I can achieve the same level of security with some .032 safety wire and safety wire pliers ...

[@rwbishop]

Agreed. And the pliers are very much more versatile in a pinch... you can do a lot with safety wire if/when forced to improvise.

[@petermartin9478]

Not a chance , I've used both in the aviation industry and found that an aviation safety wire pliers uses the malleability of the wire which weakens it with each turn . The clamptite tool utilizes the tensile strength of the wire . If you use 304 stainless you can obtain up to just shy of 100,000 psi Tensile strength , it will actually hold hydraulic pressure, something the safety wire pliers couldn't dream of.

It is a no-go. Safety wire pliers and safety wire, is a proven combination, flexibility strength and safety.

[@stanwooddave9758]

"Safety Wire" is Stainless Steel Wire, you get one thousand guesses, on what kind of wire this tool use's. It sure ain't "Galvanized Steel Wire," because you can't even get it to take more that a 1/4 of the force that a Stainless Steel Wire of the same Diameter can take/handle. How do I know, I built my own version, and tried the Galvanized wire, kept breaking. Then I tried the Stainless Steel wire, of the same dia., Night & Day difference in strength. Had I not tried the two different type(s) of wire myself, I won't have believed that the common Galvanized wire was so weak, when compared to Stainless.

[@joaotrindade4754]

Quanto custa uma ferramenta dessa

[@rwbishop]

Just my opinion... these may look great demonstrated at the fair... but as another commenter eluded, in the 'real world' there is very seldom (if ever) enough clearance around hose fittings for these things. In an emergency you'd likely be better of tying a constrictor knot (see Wikipedia) in some nylon line, and pulling taunt with a couple of Marlinespike hitches. Wire type hose clamps also subjects hoses to localized 'cold flow' deformation... there is more to all this...

[@sergeiokatieff1060]

Tool is very simple ... but overpriced.

[@gregorythoman8281]

Junk. Totally impractical in actual use. There are many far superior clamp types out there. There is not a single place on my car engine where I would have room to use the tool. Maybe my garden hose. But, why wouldn't I use a spiral clamp or better yet an Oetiker clamp?

[@dottorb7054]
