I agree with these guys shaun, that thing looks alot more complicated than a plain ol hose clamp, plus its not reusable.

I used that tool at PRI last week. It is very cool and quite easy to use. I surprised that you can get it very tight and doesn't cut the hose. There are only 2 draw backs that i could see 1) working in tight areas and 2) cutting the clamp off with out cutting into the hose.

I use these--- they get tighter with heat.

Good quality stainless clamps will not rust and are re-usable!

 

[shaunsteezy]

who care about reusable... you guys are making it sound like the stainless wire cost a fortune when the dam hose clamps are way expensive ( bought the super corrosion resistant stainless from mcmaster and they still rusted) the wire clamps better then a hose clamp also.

Here is another case of "Why fix what isn't broken"

my buddy decided to use some of the hose clamps you install with a tool

first ride out was cleveland rock n ride

at this event you end up on a pebbly beach quite a distance from your car and tools...

can you see where this is going.....

so he ended up with a small stone in a cooling line, after tearing all of the hoses off we found it, back flushed it using another ski

then he had no hose clamps....

once you have a situation where you realise the standard hose clamps have the right fit and function it all makes sense

OP: how often do your hose clamps rust out?? stainless clamp or stainless wire, its quality you need not gimmick

I like otieker clamps, toss a few extras in the toolbox.

Those can be a pain too...

tool could be useful in some situations

the dam hose clamps are way expensive.

Pretty sure you could get a lifetime supply of 100% stainless ones for the cost of that fancy tool.
but hey, its Christmas and not YOUR money, right? :biggrin:

A combination of good hose clamps and oetiker clamps seem to work the best for me.
