Alternative to Oetiker

[12vman]

Hi-
Are there any alternatives to the Oetiker Clamp that I can install without a special tool?

Specifically the 2 clamps between the PTO Rubber Boot. I need to replace the ones I have

as I am putting it back together.

Thanks in Advance,

Yes, stainless steel ties, you can get them on ebay, I paid about $3 shipped for qt 10. Pull them tight, then clip leaving about 1/4" then grab the end from the side with a very small pair of needle nose pliers and turn under to get it tighter. It'll hold grease fine, and is better than a worm clamp or nylon wire tie.

That really depends on the quality of cable tie you buy

FWIW I just used nylon ties that have the metal tongue and used a zip tie gun to fasten them.
