What happens here
Once the clamp is tightened to your satisfaction, use wire cutters to snip the excess wire on both sides of the Clamptite tool. Remove the tool from the clamp. Trim the remaining wire ends down to a small, manageable length. Finally, use the flat side of the wire cutters or a pair of pliers to push these short wire ends down flat against the hose. This 'work-hardens' the wire, stretching it and forming a permanent clamp that will not shake loose, vibrate loose, or come off until intentionally removed.
Goal: Trim and flatten the wire ends to create a permanent and secure clamp.
