I hope it doesn't spoil your day but if you read their Terms of Use statement, you'll discover that they are owned by PhotoBucket! Given their current gyrations, you may want to rethink them as your storage location.

I never liked photobucket where I live we do not have a fast internet and so tinypic worked better, BUT what do you suggest as and alternative? I am open for sugesstions.

Great idea and functions as well as the much more expensive tool available commercially!

Thanks

Hey Ed ke6bnl, Imgur and imgbox seem to be popular image hosting sites at the moment. Flickr has been around a long time but we don't know what the new owners will do with it.

These are versions of a tool made by Stayput Clamp and Coupling Company of Denver, Colorado where I live. A company I worked for as Plant Engineer used many sizes of them on hoses up to 8 inch diameter with much larger wire clamps. They furnished the clamp wires pre-wound in bags of a hundred for use on air hoses, etc. (3/4 inch or so). I have three of the Stayput Snubber #2 tool, all of which I later found on eBay. One I "won" for 1 cent with $9.95 shipping (grin).
I guess I should learn to do a video of how they work. I've made simple jigs to pre-wind wires. I often use solid copper on hoses subject to the weather, but often just iron tie-wire or "haywire" - baling wire. I've heard that OSHA did not approve of them, but I have no proof of that nor do I understand why that might be so except that the final clamp is, of course, subject to the skill of the person using them.

I'll try to post a photo. Look for them on eBay, there have to be thousands of them out there because the plant building was fair sized.
