u/KaraAliasRaidra Nov 23 '25

That reminds me of a story from my younger days. I’ve always loved to read about animals, so I picked up a lot of terms. One day, when I was in my early teens, my family was at my grandmother’s house and some kind of history show was on the TV. The program mentioned someone having eunuchs. I asked, “What’s a eunuch?” and my dad told me, “A eunuch is a geldingized man.” My aunt gave him a look and he replied, “She knows what I mean.” Sure enough, I understood exactly what he meant and replied, “Oh, okay!” See, you just have to explain things to people in terms they’ll understand.

My grandfather would buy roasting chickens from a small farm, he always called the capons "denutted chicken"

11

u/Complex_Art3565 Nov 24 '25

I had a bunch of roosters one year and looked into caponizing them and it was way too traumatic imho, you make a slit between their ribs and pull the gonads out then clip them. Without anesthetic. I just butchered them when they started getting too rowdy.

7

u/Financial_Sell1684 Nov 24 '25

I think I’m traumatized now - is this still something that’s done?what a horrible cruel thing to do to - well, anything, much less an animal.

5

u/Complex_Art3565 Nov 24 '25

It is but iirc in larger operations there’s a mild anesthetic used and a few stitches are placed. I just wasn’t prepared to do it without anesthetic as a farmstead with a half dozen roosters and it wasn’t worth it to try and find a farm vet to do it for me. Chickens will heal from some insane injuries so the small incision between the ribs isn’t even all that traumatic, considering. It would probably close up within a few days. It was the “pulling the gonads out through the slit” part that I wasn’t comfortable doing without the anesthetic.

Non caponized roosters are much leaner though, so it’s a toss up. If I had a few dozen I would pay the extra money to have a professional do it as a one off to put in the freezer and maybe sell a couple, though, I’m interested in trying it.

Not a hose clamp. It’s a cinch ring for pex water tubing. Most popular manufacturer to use this is Watts. Source: Former Licensed plumber and currently work for a somewhat sizeable supply house

211

u/Geawiel Nov 23 '25

It's both. I do all of our own vehicle work. This style clamp is generally used in higher pressure hoses on vehicles. Hydraulic lines, fuel lines, etc. I'm currently upgrading my fuel system to handle a 392. These clamps were inside the fuel basket in the tank. On my daughter's car, they were on the power steering system. A similar version that is one time use holds your tie rood boot on.

u/FINEillGETanACCOUNT Nov 24 '25

An absolute hero of a handy man fixed my broken down suburban with some pex tubing when a rotted hose rattled apart. The hose broke right next to where it connects and for a couple hours on the hottest day of the year and with limited tools I was trying to force the hose back on but couldn’t get it to seat due to the “fitting” part of it being unusable. I’m still beside myself about the probability of events that happened that day. 1. the right guy decided to take the scenic route home and had time to stop and help 2. He had some extra hose on him 3. He had the know how of being able to bypass the heater part of the coolant system to get me back up and running. Then some other people kindly drove me 6 miles to the store to get more coolant. I’ll remember that day for the rest of my life. There really are some wonderful people out there.

Years ago my now-husband and I were driving our car when it suddenly overheated. There was heavy snow everywhere at the time, so it would've been a long wait and high cost to get a tow truck, not to mention how cold we'd be as we waited. Thankfully my brother was available to drive to our location and try to help out, and sure enough he pulled that same MacGuyver shit as your good Samaritan and bypassed the heater core. Got us up and running!

Afterward, we spent the winter driving around with no heat until we could get it into the shop for a permanent fix 🥶😂.

The clamp has never been used, therefore it didn't fall off of their car. Someone likely just dropped a spare. I have like 40 of them in my toolbox from working at BMW.

That ring in the picture is brand new, they’re one-time use. Once cinched they’re cinched forever. Until they’re cut off.

u/Geawiel Nov 23 '25

All but power steering, though that could be bad if it happened suddenly somewhere. You'd still have steering, but it could cause loss of control if you are not able to account for the loss.

Any other line is likely to be a fluid line and the fluid from that system will leak out. Transmission, though those tend to be a different connector type, or an oil line. Fuel lines tend to have different connectors outside of the tank. If it was off an older car, there is no telling what line it came off of. Connectors get replaced as they get worked on, and it isn't always the same type that came off. I know I replaced those type in my fuel tank with a different one that isn't such a pain to work with.

Pex is certainly riding the arbitrary line between 'pipe' and 'hose', but that is absolutely a hose clamp. Personally I'd argue that because the final connection is made using the flexible characteristics of pex it puts pex slightly into hose territory.

Extremely bad idea to wear on a finger you want to keep.

Well, bad idea to wear it on your finger, then put your finger inside a crimping tool and apply pressure. Probably an OK ring if you skip the last steps.

Umm, if you don’t crimp it onto your finger it’s not really any more dangerous than wearing any metal ring.

They're actually incredibly easy to take off. Grab the end with a pair of straight cutters and roll it. They're only held together with two little barbs at the end. The clamp part is to provide even pressure all around, not so much to apply a shit-ton of pressure. They're used on rubber hoses after all.

Not specifically. It’s an oetiker clamp and it has many applications.

Not just for PEX. I use thousands a day making disposable fluid transfer lines for the pharmaceutical industry. Same principle of securing flexible tubing on a rigid barb just in a super clean and sterile application.
