What is
ClampTite?
ClampTite is the "Clamp Making Tool". You
can clamp anything with our tools.... any size,
any shape, any where!
The ClampTite Tool provides a means for tightening
wires wrapped around an object and then locking
it in place. The tool can be used with various
wire sizes, which eliminate space and strength issues
often encountered with screw operated worm gear
type clamps.
No matter if you?re looking for a quick and effective
emergency leak repair or a bullet proof means for
securing nearly any material from rubber hoses to
spliced wires, this new and innovative tool is a
must have addition to any portable or shop tool
chest.
ClampTite quickly replaces ineffective or damaged
conventional hose clamps with a temporary or permanent
clamping mechanism formed from stainless steel safety
wire.
Clamps formed using ClampTite seal a full 360 degrees
with no flat spots and can be used to band any type
or size material.
ClampTite tool provides a means for tightening wires
wrapped around an object and then locking it in

is about the size of a pencil and is precision machined
from stainless steel and alumabronze.

What are
some wire type advantages?
- Our stainless steel grade 304 wire
is very corrosion resistant, has good strength,
is annealed for ease of use, and is available
in all our standard sizes as well as in a 1
lb can. It is the same stainless steel grade
on most boat rails and external fittings.
- Our stainless steel grade 316L wire
is very corrosion resistant (more so than 304),
has slightly less strength, is annealed but
is more stiff and slightly more difficult to
use then the 304. It is available from us in
sizes .041" dia. small rolls and large rolls.
- Our 400 series wire (monel equivalent)
is extremely corrosion resistant (for under
water or similar uses), has much less strength,
is flexible and easy to use, is dull grey in
color. It is available from us in sizes .041"dia
and small rolls.
