LEE House 10 Piece Heavy Duty Stainless Steel Double Rope Clamps Fits 0.31-inch(8mm) to 0.47-inch(12mm) Twisted or Braided Ropes

I purchased these rope connectors to make my own dog leashes and leads from a retired climbing rope. The rope I used is 10.2mm in diameter, which worked well within the size of the clamps.I can’t speak to the longevity of the stainless steel from a long term perspective, but each piece felt solid and was well formed. There were no mid-formed pieces, nor were there any sharp edges.In order to close the clamp around the rope, I used a combination of a bench vise as well as a hammer to help close the clamp on the rope, as well as to overlap the opposing sides. After the clamp was fully closed, I used 1.25” (free state) 3:1 shrink tubing with an adhesive inside. Long story short, I expect the climbing rope to fail long before this hardware.

Vraiment surpris par l'efficacité de ce produit. Bravo.

Easy to work with

Easy to install and manipulate

I used these clamps to make a loop at the end of a rope. I used a small machinist's vise, channel-lock pliers, and hammer with a dull concrete chisel to bend and fold this clamp. The pliers get the party started by bending the ears inward. The vise keeps the clamp from spreading outward. The hammer and chisel bend the ears down and inward until both rope segments are clamped. Only takes a couple minutes and finishes clean….almost like it was done in a press!
