How To Make A Wire Clamp Tool.

Pretty cool tool! Never saw one before, but I have seen wire clamps on a lot of equipment. When not using a screw thread hose clamp, I've always used Band-it tools and straps for the higher end terminations. High quality but rather expensive. This on the other hand needs to be incorporated in a Leatherman multitool. Thanks.\

Interesting. What kind of wire do you use. It looks like it needs to but soft enough to bend but strong enough not to stretch or brake. A side view picture would be nice also.
 
I made a similar tool a couple of years ago, and it has come in quite handy. You did a nice job on yours, much fancier than I made mine. I made the main body and used a piece of 3/8" threaded rod with a wing nut on it. Works just fine!
 
I'm sure going to find one these handy after I make one. Now to find some scraps. I'm thinking mechanics wire will work.

I also made mine out of some threaded rod.

That's pretty cool. Have never run across one before, but sure looks like it would be very useful on a lot of applications and would save quite a bit on hose clamps, which are getting hard to find in any kind of quality material. I would think a stainless wire in several diameters would be the way to go for most things. Mike
 
I have used wires of different sizes and materials. They all work quite well.

I have found that almost any wire will do depending on what you want to clamp. I have a tool that I bought few years back that can handle up to 4mm wire and you can just about cut a pipe with it but it is a bulky tool for smaller jobs.
David I like your's better mine is still a bit bulky ,,, back to the shop again.
