I made this version of your wire clamping tool several months ago. It is absolutely genuinely ingenious! This is my goto video to share to anyone needing one. Thank you!

[@a7sorips]

I'm happy that you like and enjoy my DIY. Your welcome!

[@frikkiesmit327]

Love this idea more than some of the other you tubers as its probably even less modifications needed and so on. And i already bhought the tensioner to make a clamp tool. Thanks.

[@blissloveken4518]

Best I've seen to date. I was looking about my shed to find something I could adapt for this purpose and your excellent innovation has solved my problem. Thank you. Subscribed.

I'm finally on the way to the hardware store and remembered to pickup sum eye bolt tensioners. I've needed a tool like this for a long time. When out in the field cutting with oxy / ace torch you're gonna pop a hose. Anyone who says its carelessness or they'd never do it hasn't been working around heavy equipment. Anywhoo it sux when you pop a hose but when you realize that you're out of $.39 cent hose clamps you're shut down. Plus hose clamps catch on everything and makes you have to climb up and down many times a day to untangle the clamp that catches. I realize that if I'd of bought the "Real" hose tool thingy that it would have paid for itself "BUT" I dispise extremely over paying for something that I can make for near nothing.

This is the best copy of a ClampTite hands down. It functions exactly the same and is nearly identical in appearance. I made one too! I'm not sure of the size you used, but I used a 3/8" turnbuckle. I made two changes; 1) I added an acorn nut on the end for looks and comfort, and 2) for the encapsulated slider nut I used a square nut instead of a hex nut. It's a little wider and therefore helps with the encapsulation. Also it gives you a flat side to drill through for pinning.

[@a7sorips]

Thank you

[@a7sorips]

Very nice suggestions! I hope you enjoy it!

[@tagsmyser4299]

This looks like a great idea! I have a shop made tool made from a mending plate & an eye bolt but this design looks like it would be much easier to use. I already have all the parts laying around so I'll be making one straight away. I'm thinking an eye bolt will work fine for the twisting handle with the bonus of being able to stick a screwdriver through it on days the arthritis is bad, lol. Thanks for the brilliant idea!

[@alisdairherd9501]

I made one of these using this guide the other day. I used an M6 (or 1/4" depending on where you're from) Turnbuckle and a piece of round bar I had laying around. Drill a hole through the round bar and tap with an M6 thread, this way you can make the handle as long as practically useful for extra leverage. Also if you use a long M6 socket head Screw (100 mm or more) you can put the wing not on to use with your hands, or in tight spots you can use a drill with a long socket head driver on it. You could also use a hex bolt, torx . etc. Sorry forgot to mention, in the one I made the tensioning bar is threaded and moves up and down the thread, not as the design above where the wingnut pulls the tensioning bar up.

[@escaflowne33055]

would be nice to see your design, especially interested in the the way the tensioning bar moves up and down

[@a7sorips]

Nice idea too!

[@sonnynguyen5893]

DIY cheap and work. Thank you for good idea!

[@a7sorips]

Thank you so much!

[@frikkiesmit327]

Busy thinking i must make all of this with threaded rods and bolts. Or if i can get thin steel rods for the section where nut gets banged in

[@fowdarbaboopreeayvrutsing7925]

Thank you. I made one today with a modification to your butterfly screw .instead I have welded a a suitable longer handle to a bolt for a better rotating grip. Thank you again

[@fowdarbaboopreeayvrutsing7925]

Well this is a photo of it .

[@a7sorips]

Well Done! Your Welcome!

[@sofiakaramitrou1395]

[@telosfd]

Thanks a lot pal, very clever!

[@a7sorips]

Thank you very much!!

[@a7sorips]

Your welcome!

[@johnvgig]

Just curious, what is the diameter or gauge of the wire being used? I’m assuming it’s stainless steel?

[@viktorka2111]

Надо использовать удлинённую гайку М8 с отверстием для фиксации проволоки хомута длинным болтом М8 х 130мм.

[@hanmtwa]

Thanks ,realy perfect

[@a7sorips]

Your welcome!!

[@larrynarvaez455]

Is that a 1/4 x 4 inch wire tensioner?

[@1033141]

thank you sir.

[@a7sorips]

My pleasure..

[@jaffarsiddique7898]

Well appreciated

[@a7sorips]

Thank you a lot!

[@welders485]

The trick to making money is don't over price your product. Otherwise you will loose all of your customers . If the original tool was $5 everyone would run down and buy one and would not bother trying to figure out how to make one for yourself and all of your friends . Well anyway here it is great job dude.

[@OldAndGettingOlder]

steve knudsen , correcto mundo! No way this tool is worth the $40-70 price tag. It's a very clever tool. I would have loved paying the inventor, but I couldn't justify it in my mind. So I made my own. Two for $12.

[@a7sorips]

Thanks mate!

[@mk1eski]

This is the best diy

[@a7sorips]

Thank you very much!

[@a7sorips]

Thank you so much!

[@johnvgig]

Curious about the pins in the nut. I wouldn’t think an epoxy or press fit would be strong enough. Did you weld it? NEVER MIND, I just realized the pin goes all the way through the nut and the threaded rod. For some unknown reason I thought the nut needed to rotate on the threaded rod. (Wrong!)

[@elenimarg5618]

Nice and innovative idea!!

[@a7sorips]

Thank you my dear!

[@jonathanleslie9100]

use the eye bolt of the wire tensioner to tighten the wire, you won't need an extra bolt and wing nut.

[@frikkiesmit327]

Love your idea. Only problem is the thing used the crap @#$%! tension device seems to be made from zinc metal with steel filings inside. Cause mine i secured in vice to remove the eye with thread part and only turned to a point by hand so i used vice to grip and then pliers to turn the eye. Not even 1 full turn i hear a sound. 1st i see ok its bended , its steel so i will bend it straight again but no upon closer inspection the bloody thing broke!!! I will use something that i know is steel inside and outside. The tension device is defently not just steel

[@jojoquiambao41]

Already did it with wire tensioner

[@a7sorips]

I hope you like it!

[@tonygreen151]

Great vid what gauge wire did you use on the pipe

[@a7sorips]

You can use what ever gauge wire you nead it depends on the grove you make

[@eduardojaramillo9859]

Hi I would like to know what size turnbuckle are you using ? Thanks

[@a7sorips]

M8 ok

[@artemgorbunov2133]

Вещь!

[@ip5232]

Hope the makers of the tool see this and think twice on repricing it to something affordable or loose their business

[@stephenarling1667]

Their tool costs more to produce, warehouse, and distribute.

[@jaimemartinezhernandez284]

Desde México 🤙x1,000,000=exit 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽

[@coburnlowman]

These tools are way over priced and this is the most simple made one I've seen.

[@a7sorips]

I totally agree with you..yeap is very simple, thank you!!

[@deadarmygaming5110]

Mfg from india

[@flakito731]

Me gustaria conseguir uno alguien que me pueda informar en toluca donde lo puedo comprar me parece muy interesante

[@a7sorips]

¡ Gracias compañero! Espero encontrar a alguien que conozca, saludos a Toluca.

[@androwerdsatarikon]

Мне одному кажется, что петля из проволоки и гвоздь ускорят решение проблемы раз примерно в пять, а простые плоскогубцы раз в 10?

[@user-fq6qr9dz9n]

Хер там, проверено. Этот метод надёжней.

[@sbignevrabinovich986]

Вандерфул, так и гвоздь можно забить микроскопом, чего молоток беспокоить.

[@rajeshwarsharma5766]

Not clear about the grinder part. A practical demo would have been better.

[@a7sorips]

If you got a angle grinder it's easier than a file.

[@OldAndGettingOlder]

Between this video and the real deal ClampTite videos, you'll figure out where a grinder (or file) is used to make this.

[@a7sorips]

Yeap

[@josephdalonges8718]

It's called a "wing nut"

[@a7sorips]

Thank you for your help!

[@bjl1000]

Actually it's a TURNBUCKLE

[@OldAndGettingOlder]

Depends on where you're from.

This is an illegal copy of the clamptite tool.

[@michaeldean5787]

Lol no it's not

[@tegra5971]

Actually, I would call it an improvement!

[@clifficus]

@Wes m, it’s not a copy, Are you blind🤪 This is a turnbuckle, the other is made from a metal tube, and costs the earth, this is pennies, Suck it up Princess 😘

[@Makoonga]

You copied this from another You Tuber and you can buy these for $30 on Amazon.

[@a7sorips]

Chek the date from the other You Tuber . And i know you cam buy these.

[@clifficus]

@Larry F, who fkn cares, it’s dirt cheap and nobody wants to pay the ridiculous price for the yanky version. As far as I’m concerned, this guys a genius,

[@wesm3915]

Illegal copy of the clamptite tool

[@sanproekt]

Why illegal? :D

[@johnvgig]

As mentioned earlier if the clamptite was reasonably priced people would just buy it.

[@michaeldean5787]

Lol its not illegal
