What happens here

Form a loop with the wire around the object you wish to clamp (e.g., a hose). For simple attachments, one time around is sufficient. However, for high-pressure lines or maximum security, wrap the wire two times around the object. After wrapping, feed both free ends of the wire back through the initial loop. Before proceeding, visually inspect to ensure the wires are not cross-twisted.

Goal: Create a secure, double-wrapped wire loop around the object to be clamped.

What they say

Hide

stronger, 90% lighter, true 360° seal. I'm using stainless steel, but you can use any wire. Bring your ends together. Make a loop. Feed your ends through the loop. Now, one time around like this is great if you're just attaching something. Two times around for pressure. Exact same way, up through the center, back through the loop again. Go through, make sure you're not cross-twisted, or you take the nose of the tool, insert it under the loop, wrap it up and around each of the pegs, twist
