Opinion? Anyone use one of those clamptite hose clamp tools

[schiker]

So what do you think of those tools to make a hose clamp from wire ?

My initial use would be for garden hose to make a low profile clamp for a new end.

Looks like it should work, I like the one size fits all aspect.

Looks like something that could be built for the price they want.

It works really well. Under the hood is impossible in certain locations. It is perfect for things like garden hose, air compressor hose, etc

Thanks. There are homemade versions on Pinterest and instructibles made from a turnbuckle. I had sorta thought about a turnbuckle But didn’t think thru the lead turns and options instructibles gives decent instructions. Wouldn’t be hard to make but I bought one for the size at the tip. Could have used drill to make a mini lathe and turn down the nose but store bought should be sleek. I didn’t buy any of the kits on clamptite website.

Ill post back after I get a chance to use it some.
