The clips are cheap and you can use a pair of pincers to squeeze the ears. Works for me.These never leak and the tooling is in keeping

I did the same, but also drilled the bar for two bolts and nuts to do the clamping. The cut edge of each semi-circular hole had a chamfer filed on it.I have a piece of bar I drilled a few holes in it then cut it in half. I use it in the vice.
