Default Normal wimpy zip ties, no. Good strong ones (the kind cops use to cuff people)
yes. There is no way a clamp can have more strength than Industrial zip ties, or easier one and off. IMHO

Default you should be able to find clamps to suite your needs at any hardware store.
they will be similar to the ones on the IC hoses.
