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.

"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.

This tool is for people who have patience lol

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

Ha! I've totally brought mine down there! Thankfully I didn't need it :)

They are $55 canadian at Lee Valley

@@b.p.3743 The ones sold here look like the original model by the same maker and not made out of stainless steel. Should work just as well, though.

Agreed - that is a work of art.

I also made one and his is awesome. I just started today so I can reviews the plasma cutter I'm giving away.

Thanks, I started watching Advoko a few few years ago when he built the five dollar kayak.

Any chance you can tell me how to find that video? I'd love to see what he's doing with this tool! I'm always looking for new things to do with mine.

@@redteamla Advoko MAKES

Saw that tool in the same exact place.

Found that its possible with only 90deg of space avail, its not the best, but very possible and two hands needed

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

and that exactly where i would need it lol

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

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.

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.

I think the dark back ground is better

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.

You push the wire into it, as shown in the video.

Jubilee clips do tend to form a D shape when tightened, so not ideal for critical applications.

😂

Very true.

@@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.

Make your own cuz

@@pienapple6969 I bought a similar product that does the same which is a lot cheaper!

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

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

SO FUCKING WHAT! DONT BUY IT DUMB FUCKHEAD!
