How about a close-up of the welds?

I'll try to fit it in between the other weekend projects.

Looks like they are listing 2" band; their chinese manufacturer much have messed and made a lot fo 2" bands. This is confusing since the one line says 2.5" bands, and another says 2" bands

My 7.25 Piranha bands are 2.5"

Where's the great price? $66.95 - $69.95? I made my own for less than $10.

Wow, where'd you buy strips of stainless steel that cheap? Or did you not use stainless? I would expect the allthread to cost at least a dollar, even at a discount store.

Make me some for $20 then and you will double your money.

What's wrong with duct tape?

I can't even get a full hardware set strait from a wholesaler for $10, what's your connection on hardware?

I have a set of the 7" bands and they're excellent, plus the guys that own piranha are a pleasure to deal with. They told me they make the bands, so unless you have some actual evidence that they use chinese bands I suggest you not make accusations like that.

Use scrap aluminum and hose clamps.

It's still a pretty good price in comparison to other commercial offerings. If you have the time, inclination and skills/equipment to make your own, kudos to you
