anson Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 I want to use a house clamp as a choker on a #4, is this safe? I've never had trouble with this in my #3, but I know the #4 would put a lot more tension on the clamp. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ishred Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 i've thrown a hose clamp on my 4....it did fine except i wasn't able to bring the handles any closer at all clay, do you leave your grippers in the clamps all the time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave H Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Hose clamps (2 inch) is what I used on the #3 to get me through it. And, yes, Anson, I have wondered the same thing. If fact, when I first placed the hose clamp on my #3 a long time ago I wondered if the clamp would bust off. Lately, I thought about putting one around my #4 and seeing if I could close it that way but was concerned about the hose clamp busting. I guess the only way to tell would be to put it on, hang the gripper up for a day or two and see what happens. Dave... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
