I have one, but really only use it for unusual applications where I wanted
to clamp two things together, and look a lot better, cleaner, than a hose
clamp. For instance, I have clamped a (slit) tube on a shaft and then
covered it w/ shrink tubing to give a clean appearance.
It would be good to have one for emergencies since as long as you have
enough wire, it will clamp any hose. But once you have finished the job, you
can't really tighten it more like you can a hose clamp.
Maybe I haven't used mine enough to be competent with it...I wasn't very
quick at all !

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.
