This is great info....Thanks. There have been many times I did not have the right type of hose clamp in the size I needed. I am going to make one like in the second video. Thanks again for sharing that.

Hard to use in tight quarters, however!

They have a smaller tool that they say works in tight quarters. Interesting idea.

This tool has some advantages...But NEVER use this on silicone hoses...Silicone hoses all require hose clamps with liners to protect the hose...It will cut off the hose or damage it beyond using...Yes, I have this tool...larryd
