Any top tips for a better sort of clip to use to hold them secure without pinching the line into a weird shape which allows leaks?



google /ebay for crimp clamps,

Are the shanks not threaded then? If they are I would get a JG fitting that screws on then just shove a bit of beer line into it. The one I've linked to is to illustrate the idea, make sure you get the right size for your taps and beer line. :wink:
