Thanks for watching and commenting. Yes easy to make. Every time I make another one I seem to give it away. Still using original one I made. Cheers Mike
That's a very handy low profile clamping method. As long as there is enough room to swing the tool if needed for an in-situ application. This is on the next wet day project list. Thanks for sharing. Chers Pete' Hokitika.
Just made one following yours, I'm too cheap to pay for the commercial version. I did use a larger (3/8") bolt and wingnut (with sides ground flat) so they stay better. Also welded another larger hex nut on top of the bolt head for better finger grip and able to use any straight object to turn it instead of needing a socket.
Great!!! This is a very handy tool. You can use the SS turnbuckles from a sailing yacht for a really professional look like your machined one 😂 - not really necessary.
Hi I use 14 and 20 gauge galv tie wire. Mostly the 14 gauge. In the past I have also used stainless steel wire of same gauge. It does take a couple of tries to get used to tension. You can also give it a giggle and pull on the tensioner tool half way as this will help wire move around hose. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Mike
This was a great video, thanks. That drill bit may be a 6 mm bit, but it is definitely not a 6 mil bit. A 6 mil bit would be .006 inches, nor is the wire 1.2 mil which would be .00012 inches, so it must be 1.2 mm wire. Apparently you Ausies used the term "mil" to mean "millimeter." That kind of threw me, a yank, off a bit.
Thanks for watching. I'm sorry about the accent but I'm actually a New Zeander living in Auckland. It's like calling a Canadian an American. Yes we use mil for mm just like you guys use thou for thousands. Glad you enjoyed my video. Cheers Mike
Not really. I get great joy out of making things. It's like fishing as a hobby. Much cheaper and easier to buy the fish than go out on your boat and catch them. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Mike

I've now seen a few of these tools being homemade, and this is one I like the best so far.
Thanks for that. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Have you looked at the previous video on the other one I made.
Cheers Mike
Thanks Mike... Found out about this tool about about 2 days ago... Man, I could have used one doing my 4x4's CV boots! Thanks for the tutorial!
My pleasure. Thanks for watching. Have a great Christmas. Cheers Mike
Thank you for this, I will be making me one.
Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching. They are a handy tool. Cheers Mike
Thank you for this! Looks fantastic - I'll definitely make one for the boat and one for the garage.
Thanks for watching and commenting. Yes easy to make. Every time I make another one I seem to give it away. Still using original one I made. Cheers Mike
Great idea Mike. Quick and easy. Thanks for posting.
Glad you enjoyed it. Yes it was a bit quicker to build than the previous one. Cheers Mike

Thanks. Great idea Mike! Not bad for a Jaffa! 😉👍😃

Good on you. Nice that you made it your way that's even better. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Mike
Mike I like it very much I think I will make me one very nice clamp for a water hose ex video
Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thanks for watching. Yes a nice stainless steel one would look great. Cheers Mike
excellent! 2-3 bucks at hardware store and a little fun and effort.
Hi thanks for watching. Nice easy project that is handy to have. Cheers Mike
Hello, what gauge wire /type wire should we use for this? 12 ga copper wire, and tie-wire both broke before it could be as tight as I'd like.

Does tool like this use 'hard' or 'soft' wire?
Hi. Soft wire works best. I use the general galvanized wire from my hardware store. Cheers Mike
one more of these in the world now :)
Thanks for watching. Hopefully many more in the future. Cheers Mike

@ericweber1969 Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Mike
When you were in "your local hardware", why didn't you just buy a few Jublie (pipe) clips.
Because I wanted to make this instead. And it works better.
You could just use the eye bolt and you can use anything through the eye! Screwdriver, cutters handle,even a stick.
That's what I did. 🇦🇺👍
Yes I suggested that in the video. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Mike
