Hose clamp promises an extremely secure fit
Featuring a patent-pending snap-fit system the Ezyclik quick-fit nylon hose clamp provides an extremely secure fit when tightened.
The Smart Band is comprised of a plastic band and buckle system that functions as an extremely heavy duty cable tie.
It is bought in reels of 15, 30.5, 125 or 250m for the 10mm and 25m or 250m for the 7mm.
The user cuts the desired length and then attaches one of the accompanying buckles - supplied in boxes of 30, 130 or 500.
Finally the system is tensioned with the use of the hand tool for a secure installation.
Because the product is plastic, it doesn't scratch or damage the street furniture, so when Christmas lights are attached to lamps, the paint doesn't peel.
This saves the client money over rival metal strapping.
It is totally safe to fit and has no sharp edges that could cut the user's hands.
The Smart Band can be deployed quickly and easily using a basic hand tool and can be released just as easily and re-used.
However, the band cannot be released by third parties such as festive jokers or vandals.
Furthermore, the bands are noncorrosive so they won't react with rain and stain street furniture.
There's no need to daisy chain cable ties together as the right length of band can be cut for any application.
