In years past, I’ve had too many beams with worm-gear clamps have their element
lengths changed when trying to slide them past guy wires or tree limbs. I put
a small stainless sheet metal screw through every junction that is relying
solely on a hose clamp. I figure it’s either that or rent a helicopter.
