Hadn't thought of that—we do have Tractor Supply around here.

That's really helpful, thanks.

So when you replace the round wire type, where do you obtain replacements? Online? Or do AZ, Advanced Auto, O'Reilly, etc just have drawers full of generic clamps...

I have virtually zero experience with JBW, so keep that in mind.

However, I would think it would be tough to apply it in such a way that you keep it ONLY on the bolt. I'd be nervous that I'd...

A couple of observations.
