Does that key come out or does it permanently stick out like some sort of phallus?

 

Ummm, jlighthall...did you actually read the Wikipedia link you supplied? I'm not saying Wikipedia is always right (either is Google for that matter), but it directly contradicts what you wrote.

First paragraph, second sentence from the link you supplied: "Stainless steel does not stain, corrode, or rust as easily as ordinary steel, but it is not stain-proof."

Second paragraph, forth sentence from the link you supplied: "Stainless steels contain sufficient chromium to form a passive film of chromium oxide, which prevents further surface corrosion and blocks corrosion from spreading into the metal's internal structure.

I would re-think your sales pitch

 

The Flexi-Clamp has been tested to best operate in a temperature range between -50 F and 300 F .

 

Yes, the key comes out. In fact you don't need the key at all. A lot of electricians use these to bundle wires because if they need to add an additional wire later, it is easy to take these apart with a cordless drill and a socket.

 

Hi mwindth,

Thanks for helping me make that correction. What should be said is that stainless steel is neither 100% stain or rust proof, but the Flexi-Clamp is

 

So they wont work on or near the exhaust.

 

Currently the manufacturer has only tested the Flexi-Clamp to 300F. I have sold/installed their other products for almost 20 years and they are always very conservative with their testing numbers.
