Costo sells Knott's Berry preserves in a 2-pack. They are held together with a plastic double-C shaped clip.

That plastic clip fits the hose of my Rigid shop vac perfectly. Now I can wind the hose up around the top of the vac and secure it well.

My Rigid came with a similar clamp, but it was flimsy, and the vac only came with one clip (to do a good job of winding the hose you need two). The Knott's "clamp" is much heavier duty. :thumbup:

its a sad day when packaging for jelly is a better hose reel than the hose reel they include with the vacuum.

Here are photos of the JELLY HOSE CLAMP as requested. Compare them to the original thin clip and you will see that Knott's Berry Farm has given us a significant upgrade. The Rigid clip lets go at the lightest pressure, whereas the JELLY CLAMP hangs on tenaciously. And the JELLY CLAMP comes with delicious flavors, while the original Rigid clip does not.

I thought I was good at finding double uses for random items around the house. You sir, are better at it than me!

Great tip! Now I have to wonder if you bought the two pack for the jelly or because you thought you found a better clamp.

Reviving an old thread, as the pictures have disappeared into the sands of time. I'd love to see pictures of this!
