hi Denny,
great clear photo's, when we make clamps we twist the 2 end wires more because when turning the wing nut they unwind as the tool body travels backward, then they come undone & once they bite you, you will understand why.
If you are doing a clamp on soft or flexible hoses then we suggest you do a Triple oe Quadruple wrap as it will spread the pressure out so the hoses don't get cut.
Good job, glad you got to use your clamp tool.
