Clamptite CLT01 4 3/4 inch Stainless Steel Tool with Aluminum Bronze T-Bar Nut

These are the absolute best clamps that you can get. You custom make them for any size hose. You can do a single or a double wrap. I use them on all my boost hoses on my twin turbo cars, and all of my leaks were gone extremely space-saving and you don’t have to reuse old worn clamps.. just clipped these ones off and put a brand new one on whenever you change something a full 360° of pressure all the way around use them on air liquid all kinds of hoses. There is a learning curve, but once you master it this tool is easy and awesome. You won’t regret it after you learn it. Also, not just for hoses. You can use it to clamp together just about any damn thing you want header wrap, loose posts all kinds of stuff. It really has no limits that I have found. Safety wire is cheap and you can find it anywhere.

Works really well. Nice tight clamps. Well built. It is the authentic Clamp Tite version.

Wow!!! Way better than the normal hose clamps. I will never go back. It is a PITA to use but the quality of the clamp is well worth it.

I want to give it 5 stars (and maybe I should). It is a great tool and will get you out of a jam. If you have enough room to flip the about minimum 150 deg you have enough room to use the tool. It is great for binding different stuff together. Anything you might use a band clamp or zip-tie to do, you might consider using wire instead. You can use this tool to seal tricky low pressure hose connections. There is a bit of a learning curve and it can be tricky to get your wire in order (especially when using multiple wraps) and it takes some practice on higher pressure connections right. Use heat shrink tube to cover and protect your wire clamp and make your work neat and clean. Snip the wire at the folds to remove clamp.

Great tool, quality construction worth the extra dollars over the knock off.

Works as advertised! Yes, a little tricky to use the first few times, and somewhat cumbersome even with larger diameter hard SS wire. If you want to use larger wire with it, maybe look into some Monel instead of SS aircraft wire. I made some 0.051" clamps for some intercooler hose boots where they passed through the cowl on a Cummins swapped WWII truck. There was no room for T-bolt or worm gear clamps, so this was a great solution for pre-assembly. Note that this device doesn't work in a really tight area because you have to flip the clamp over 180 degrees to close the clamp out. To remove the clamp, just cut the "bridge" with some side cutters. I ordered some .041" SS wire to try with again to see if that goes easier. I'll use my 0.032" for garden hoses and such. The price point IS a little high on them, however to build one yourself, from the stainless materials and brass, your time better not be worth anything and you better plan on making a lot of them. I'm okay with someone making some money on this very useful tool. Watch the video on how to use it. It explains things very well.

I really couldn’t find much as far as the proper wire size for any specific purpose. I bought two different wire sizes to try. There definitely is a little practice needed to put the wire clamp on fast and efficiently. It was a little awkward at first, but by the third one, it went a little smoother. You need to have enough room to flop the clamp 180 degrees at the end to lock everything in place. The clamp of perpendicular to the clamping piece. Like any tool, you are limited at times to where you can use it. You need to have a little space. I was able to clamp an air line to the back of a plasma cutter without much of a hassle. The fitting, is right at the case of the cutter. It worked pretty good for my first attempts. The hoses seeped air with the normal worm clamps. It’s a very simple process that is awkward until you’re used to it. I’m throwing this in my off - road travel bag. Great sense of security to be able to make any clamp size that could come up.

Works great make sure you use the stainless steel wire because if you use cheap wire as you tighten it you will break the wire.
