John,
I am aware of the tools limitations. It is still of value for some applications.
What I found more interesting was the second to last photo on the cottagecraftworks page. It shows a cobbled repair of a rear shock on a TZE bogie. Not something I would recommend, but worth a chuckle to see.

Too loose is comes loose and leaks and too tight you can cut the boot and fail. It looks like it might be a good tool for the shop and road.

Bailing wire, chewing gum, and duct tape, OH MY! Tools of "Michael Rodent
Repair Artists" the world over.
Kinda reminds me of the Alternate Lifestyle folks who build houses?
out of hay bales and horse crap mixed with mud.
Also the "How to repair your VW for the Complete Idiot" books.
Not exactly my cup of tea, but, to each his own, I guess.

There is a reason why the BAND style clamps are used on the drive axel. The
Radiator hoses are good for these wire clamps.
It is always great to see what new tools are becoming available.

IMO,
obtaining success with this tool will depend on the type of wire being used and the number of wraps around the object being clamped. I would lean towards 0.050” or 1/16 SS tig filler rod or SS wire of similar stiffness/dia. Bailing wire is too soft and will rust. A stiff stainless wire wrapped atleast 3times around the item will provide some spring tension to the wrap and won’t rust.

I stumbled across a simpler tool that provides similar results.
Look carefully at the second to last photo in the link below.

Looking at how these two tools work gives me a thought. I wonder if the banding tool normally used can serve the same function. Or if one can be modified to work with wire. Hmmmm. Playtime in the shop.

Steve, I had the same thought, but will most likely just make my own modified version of the clamptite tool, mainly because I like to work on my lathe.
