CLT05 - Clamptite - 4 3/4" Plated Steel/Aluminum Tool w/ Wingnut

This is a great pocket tool for when you are on the go. I travel to make repairs for a living and I am always finding.new uses for this tool.

So I got the cheaper one with the wing nut vs the big T handle bc I wanted a more compact size tool. It can seem a little awkward at first till you get used to the actual mechanics of it and how the clamps are supposed to be made. I have used it on a variety of items that need clamps and it works well. Just remember that too tight will literally cut the hose in half! The single loop clamps is the fastest to do but It also is the one that can be over tightened the easiest. I prefer the double loop and with proper practice you can get them done pretty quickly. This is my 2nd one of these and it came with a plastic wire nut, I don't really know why it has it or what it's use is. I got the full size one also and it's handier than a shirt pocket but too big in some instances so I got this one to try out, now it's my favorite tool.

Way better than hose clamp. Takes a little bit to get the hang of it, but when you do you want to tie everything with it.

Great quality, get bigger one. No leverage on wing nut

Make a clamp of any size, just use wire. There are plenty of videos online on how to use this item. It does come complete with written instructions.

Simple tool works great. Over priced.

I love love love this thing. I bought it specifically to repair a broken air hose. I run pneumatic framing nailers all day for my job and recently busted a hose for the second time in 2 years. I had just bought that hise and was so upset about it. I tried a few repair kits that used double sided barbs with tapered compression sleeves but they would not hold under pressure and I was forced to use 2 hose clamps to secure the repair. Now this makes it a pain to roll the hose up and it also catches on everything, including your person and clothing.One day I was watching something on youtube and there was a video on the sidebar of this thing. IT was clickbaity but the image was just irresistibly intriguing to me. Boy am I glad I watched that video. I came and ordered this immediately. The hose repair is almost good as new. No snagging on anything and you can pull it through your hand with no sharp edges slicing at you like a piece of crap hose clamp.Now this will not work in tight spaces because you have to lever the device about 180 degrees to finish the clamping process. But if you have the room to use it, it is a thousand times better than a hose clamp. I actually look for excuses to use it because it makes me so happy. A little pricey for what it is and how simple it is to make with machinery. But still well worth it because it will last a lifetime.

A friend showed me one of these little jewels, I knew as soon as I saw it that I would never be happy until I was in possession of my own. Anyone who has any sense of independence and who can manipulate a can opener can find a use for this clever way of making your own. I used it for: garden hose, clamping conductors for soldering, decorative wire accents and to save my kitchen trash can, which cracked from being used to its limits. I was unaware that a decent replacement was over $50. Made this tool look cheap. Wrapped some 16 g solid copper, pulled tight with my handy dandy tool, viola! A stylish receptacle with copper embellishments to last another decade !!!You’ll never be sorry for this purchase.
