What happens here

Locate the notch at the bottom of the Clamptite tool and pop the main wire loop right into it. This secures the loop. Now, begin to turn the tool. As you turn, it will pull the wire tight around your project. You will notice two indications of proper tightening: first, you will feel the tool become increasingly difficult to turn, and second, you will observe the wire sitting nice and flush against the surface of the object. If you have overhead clearance, aim to turn the tool 180 degrees. If working in a tight spot, just past 90 degrees is sufficient for a strong seal.

Goal: Securely tighten the wire clamp around the hose to create a permanent seal.
