TodFitch Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 I wanted a hose clamp for the vacuum line on my old Plymouth. And I did not want it to be a modern screw style clamp. Looking around on the web I found a commercially manufactured tool that allow you to use wire to make hose clamps. But no store near me carries those tools (or a similar competitor). While it is possible to make your own tool, I really only need to do one small hose which is already a pretty good fit so does not need a lot of clamping force. So that was more work than I wanted to do. And then I found a write up on a way to do this using stuff I already had in the garage. I thought I'd pass it on. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
