ClampTite tool

While visiting the Big Tent last week, we watched a man demonstrate a tool to make clamps for hoses with wire. Dwayne decided to get one and was working with it yesterday afternoon. The man had said that it took some practice to get good with it, but Dwayne made a great clamp on his very first try!
The tool and the package

Dwayne's first attempt - putting a hose on a funnel to make it easier to fill some of the fluids around the bus.

The fellow doing the demonstration gave us a sample of a clamp on a piece of black tubing - Dwayne's looks like he has had lots of practice rather than it being his first attempt! The biggest difference we noticed was that the demonstration one has a wider clamp, and we think that might be better as it may be less likely to cut through the hose. But we are impressed that it was as easy to use as it was!
