I've built allot of fences in my life and used allot of wire and pliers. I could never get a fit this nice. Cost is under $30, no bad about twice what a good set of pliers cost yah. As a sugar maker here in pa i run allot of sap lines to collect the sap from the trees. Every connection for my mainline uses a hose clamp. I installed almost $50 worth a hose clamps last year alone. I will be doing double that this spring. I see this as a alternative to that and saving money to boot. Jason
A piece of coat hanger and a small bolt makes a great emergency clamp. Just a single piece with a twist will hold a lot.
Looks good but when finished it is held together by a single bend which wouldn't take to much stress to come undone. I wouldn't trust using it in a shtf situation on a critical application. But the stainless wire would be a good thing to get a hold of.
