DIY Hose Clamp Wire Tension Tool for under $3.00

Never go out to the hardware store for hose clamps again. This super simple tool works on the same principles as the famous Clamptite tool for just a few dollars, is easy to make, and requires basic tools that most households have. It uses 304 stainless steel safety wire to provide an airtight clamp for water or air hose barb fittings, PEX connectors, and even pipe.
