I explained how I use a special tool to seize rope in the making of eyes, in this blog here.
This tool however is so useful for many other application that I thought it worth putting in a link to their web site and a video here of how it works.
I've personally used it, in place of hose clamps; to join two hoses of different sizes together ( place the small hose inside the larger hose and place the clamp wire around the the larger hose to bind the hoses together), and many other uses.
So check out their web site here.
Also here.
Enjoy the video.
