Band clamp

A band clamp is a type of tool that helps hold things together tightly. Imagine playing with a toy belt that wraps around your waist. The belt has a buckle that hooks into a hole to keep it from slipping off your waist. Just like that, a band clamp wraps around something, usually a pipe or a hose, and can be tightened to keep it from moving around. It works like a very strong rubber band that can squeeze things together and hold them in place. Band clamps are used in lots of different situations, like in cars to hold hoses together, or even in construction to hold big pipes together.
