ABSTRACT:
A tool for forming a wire clamp includes an elongate member having projections extending transversely from one end thereof, the end including a groove receiving a portion of a wire defining a straight crossover portion extending between circular portions formed respectively by wrapping the wire around the projections. A tool for clamping or banding the preformed wire over a hose or other item to be clamped comprises a stationary block shaped part pivotally secured to a movable part at one end thereof. A threaded puller extends through the stationary part and one end thereof contacts the movable block intermediate the pivot and an opposite end containing a groove receiving the wire crossover portion. Opposite end portions of the wire are wrapped around a pair of posts, respectively, on the stationary block. Rotation of the threaded puller via a wing nut integrally formed at the upper end thereof separates the movable and stationary blocks from each other about the pivot to tighten the circular portions into clamping contact with the hose or other item. A kit comprising the aforesaid tools, including hose barb connectors and wire is also disclosed.
