I remember seeing a tool a while ago with which you could efficiently
and quickly use stainless steel to wrap and secure things, making hose
clamps, wireties, etc very quickly.

I was wondering if anyone had one, liked it and could remember the
name. I'm thinking of having something like that instead and a spool
of stainless steel wire instead of a dozen different sized clamps and
ties.

I've never seen or used on myself but they are available at:

multi-purpose tool. Making clamps from ordinary wire is quick and easy. A
must for every tool box and vessel. Complete with 8ft. of .041 stainless
