Great idea and functions as well as the much more expensive tool available commercially!
Thanks

These are versions of a tool made by Stayput Clamp and Coupling Company of Denver, Colorado where I live. A company I worked for as Plant Engineer used many sizes of them on hoses up to 8 inch diameter with much larger wire clamps. They furnished the clamp wires pre-wound in bags of a hundred for use on air hoses, etc. (3/4 inch or so). I have three of the Stayput Snubber #2 tool, all of which I later found on eBay. One I "won" for 1 cent with $9.95 shipping (grin).
I guess I should learn to do a video of how they work. I've made simple jigs to pre-wind wires. I often use solid copper on hoses subject to the weather, but often just iron tie-wire or "haywire" - baling wire. I've heard that OSHA did not approve of them, but I have no proof of that nor do I understand why that might be so except that the final clamp is, of course, subject to the skill of the person using them.
I'll try to post a photo. Look for them on eBay, there have to be thousands of them out there because the plant building was fair sized.
