Wire Clamp Tool at SEMA Show
It caught our eye at the SEMA Show as we walked the aisles, looking for the latest, greatest tools. Shawn Early gave us a demonstration and we were immediately hooked, or clamped, as it were. The ClampTite Tool is a clever little contraption that helps you create your own wire clamps in just a few seconds.

How ClampTite Works
Basically, it looks something like an overgrown syringe. It comes in several different sizes and material configurations, depending on the end-user's needs.
The first step is wrapping the wire (Shawn prefers stainless steel wire) around the workpiece. The wire is looped through itself and can be wrapped around the object multiple times.
Once the wire is in place, the ClampTite Tool is used to apply tension, tightening the wire around the surface of the hose, in this case.
The tool is then rotated around the clamped workpiece and the wire can be cut and bent to form a tight, secure clamp.
According to the manufacturer, the ClampTite creates clamps that are 10 times stronger than a traditional-style clamp. They claim it can be used on air hoses, water lines, and to connect different diameter materials together securely.
As we watched the demo, we were impressed with both the simplicity of the tool and its clever design. Needless to say, we're looking forward to getting one into the hands of Author X, our automotive guru, to see what he says. Stay tuned.
