Anybody have experience using one of these?

Mention of clamps always reminds me of it, and that I have never gotten around to buying one.

I have had one for about 10 years and if you take mine, I will shoot you in the ass.

I highly recommend it. Once you know how to do a two-wire clamp, you'll just keep figuring out ways to use it and it's very easy once you do.

One thing, don't be chincy abotu the wire -- there is wastage, but not a lot once you figure it out.

Also, if you're clamping rubber hose, you don't need to clamp it super tight.  Just tight enough for pressure against the barb.  If you want it tight, use a piece of sheet metal around the hose and then clamp the wires on that.  That prevents the hose from being cut.

Seriously, I will shoot you in the ass.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

M620 turned M800 but then back to M620 after the M800 died at 110k, and now to Multi 1000.
