I now have clamps for everything from chainsaws to lawn mowers to ATVs. I have a tool for this type of clamp, but the smaller ones are easy to use with pliers. I like to use them on the softer, clear tubing on my gear above the screw drive as they can cut through that type of tubing too easily. So if you live far from places that sell these types of clamps, it's a good idea to get a kit. have them on hand in case the old ones break or you make changes or repairs. I was expecting thin clips that I can squeeze with my fingers for this price, I was pleasantly surprised they were quite meaty.
