Mike I saw one of those tools about 30 years ago at a farm field day. I didn't buy one then and wish I did. This has inspired me to got out and make one. Thanks for the video. I also like seeing the split screen to see and follow what the DRO is doing. Cheers Mate.
Clever tool, Mike! Definitely beats worm clamps. I'd say its better than Oetiker clamps as well, in that there's no ears sticking out after crimping, and wire is definitely cheaper than either! Definitely going to make one for my tool box. Also, it's awesome to see someone else including their DRO as a picture-in-picture. I do that in my videos as well! I think being able to see the same screen as the operator is a great addition to the viewing experience. It certainly beats disembodied *beep* sounds as buttons are pressed on an off-screen DRO display haha!
Hi Mike Nicely made tool. I have one but a simpler design. Also instead of threading the wire ends through the loop, make two separate loops on a straight piece of wire. The loops must rotate in opposite directions. After that just fold the wire 180 degrees between the loops until the loops are touching on the inside.. Thread this over the fitting etc etc. This way, the wire can be formed around a mandrel on a bench vice. The wire clamps can be premade to a variety of sizes.
Nice Job.. I had a couple of old air hoses that had a leak or two from weld spatter and I used barbed fittings and hose clamps and never did get them to quit pissing a small amount of air, so, I ordered the cheaper Camptite off of Amazon, with a spool of stainless wire.. I fixed 3 hoses, using some 1/4 or 3/8" pipe, not to restrict the air flow.. Stopped the leaks immediately... I thought to myself. I'll never put another hose clamp on..Ha.Ha.. Then, someone borrowed it from me, and I am without.. But, I have a benchtop mill and lathe now, so, time to do some long drilling and 5 degree tapering... I was just talking about this tonight with my girlfriend, who I am trying to get into CNC.. I swear Google is listening to me via my phone.. This popped up in my face.. Ha..Ha.. New Subscriber... I like the way you show how things are done... Nice work on the lathe and paying attention to the setup.. Saw the Industrial table leg build.. Might even try turning some threads.. Ha..ha.. Thanks a bunch!! I don't have enough room, so, set up my lathe and mill in a room with carpet.. Didn't take me long to figure out, lathe and carpet don't work, if you like wearing socks.. Ha..ha.. But, I'll lay something down on the floor until I get some room to put the things elsewhere... Ha...
Thanks for watching and commenting. Good on you for making your own. Yes sometimes we have to fit our machines into a space for other bits. I'm luck that I have been able to build my workshop. Appreciate you joining the channel. Cheers Mike
Instead of using standard pins for the cross pins take DIN 1474/ISO 8742 Knebelkerbstifte/toggle notch pins. The do not require reaming the hole to achieve a tight fit.
I'm sorry, but you spent far more time and energy on this tool than a hose clamp ever would have been. And they also have much better hose clamps than what you use as an example. Also the correct size hose clamp should just barely slide on with out resistance, by the time it's tight that gap no longer exists.
Bobby, you missed the whole point of this tool. The idea is you can make ANY size clamp without having 300 different sizes on hand to have the "correct" size.
Let alone when your 500km from a hose clamp shop and need one yesterday, recon there be a lot of stories how one of these tools save the day. These seem a lot more reliable where vibration has been known to unscrew some types of hose clamps. One last point, I’ve found that just because hose clamps come in size ranges that cross over from one range to another I’ve found at times neither size fits perfectly. The humble wire clamp is the genuine one size fits all.

I appreciate you watching and commenting. Hope you have fun making one. Cheers Mike
Very handy to have in the tool box. Will be my next project. Thanks.
Thanks for watching. These are a great project. Cheers Mike
Mike, that looks a very useful tool and I have put it on the 'to make' list. Cheers mate
Thanks for watching and commenting. It's a great tool I love mine. Cheers Mike

Thanks for watching and commenting. I enjoyed making and using. Am trying to improve appearance in each video. Cheers Mike
great little tool that you could easily make with just the lathe
great share thankyou
Thanks for watching. Cheers Mike

Great idea as it could make it easier in some situations. Will give it a try. I appreciate you watching and commenting. Cheers Mike
Choice video, bro. Love the tinshun, too.
Thanks! 👍
I would like to see your plans for this tool. Just go a mini lathe and want to try making this tool. Thanks for video!
No problem. I will hand draw up something over the weekend. Email me at mikesworkshopadv@gmail.com and I will email it to you.
Cheers Mike

Make one of these a few years back - quite a bit simpler, but it works fine.
Appreciate you watching. Yes lots of designs. Will be putting up a simpler no machining one in next video. Cheers Mike
Great video explaining a great tool. Just added this to the top of my home machining project list. What type of wire do you use, stainless?
That's for watching. I usually use stainless but not available at local store so am using galv wire at the moment. Both work fine. Cheers Mike
Nice😊
Thanks appreciate you watching. Cheers Mike

Thanks for the advice. Will look into them. Thanks for watching. Cheers Mike
Neat, screw hose clamps are an abomination !!!
Thanks for watching and commenting. Hose clamps are a bulky design. Cheers Mike
i have never seen that tool before
Simple but effective. I believe it has been around for years. Cheers Mike

Also the correct size hose clamp should just barely slide on with out resistance, by the time it's tight that gap no longer exists.
Thats what hobbies are about. I had great fun making it and putting up a video for you to watch. Cheers Mike
