Weathered and split tool handles can not be permanently repaired. |
How strong are your wire clamps? We put 2 double wrap clamps on each eye. This is good quality 3/8 braided nylon rope. Then we pressured the 1 1/4" ram to 3000lbs.. At this pressure, the locks started to lift and the rope was starting to fray. The clamps started to fail at the breaking strength of the rope, well beyond the working strength of the rope.

| Instructions for a double wrap clamp: |

Step 1: Cut the wire to length
(4 times around the item you're clamping plus 12 inches of the wire).
Fold wire in half, tape (or wire nut) ends together and wrap around
item where you want the clamp. Tuck the ends thru the loop. |

Step 2: Wrap around
(inside the first wrap), tuck thru loop again and remove the tape
(or wire nut). Place tool as shown, with wire over front pin. Twist
ends together tightly. |

Step 3: Place notch at end of
tool against the wire loop and turn wingnut clockwise to tighten. |

Step 4: Rotate tool over to lock
the clamp. Loosen wingnut and remove ClampTite
tool. Clip off wire ends about 1/4" from clamp and push them
down against the hose. |
