I RECENTLY DESIGNED AND CONSTRUCTED A DUST-COLLECTION SYSTEM IN MY SHOP. I USED A COMBINATION OF "OLD-SCHOOL" HOSE CLAMPS (THE TYPE TYPICALLY SEEN IN RADIATOR HOSES), AS I ALREADY HAD A FEW OF THEM ON HAND.I NEEDED MORE TO COMPLETE MY PROJECT AN DECIDED TO GIVE THESE A TRY. I REALLY LIKE THIS STYLE OF CLAMP AND FOUND A GREAT DEAL ON A BULK-PURCHASE OF THEM THROUGH AMAZONGrizzly H5357 10 Pack 4" Wire Hose Clamps.
These are a great clamp but you can buy them for half the price at many other places.
Um, its a clamp. It holds things tight. Sorry I can't really write a paragraph on a hose clamp. It does what its supposed to do, and it does it well.
I used a whole lot of these when I set up my dust collection system, and I can say that the hype is justified. These thin metal clamps slip between the ridges on the flex hose perfectly to create a very air-tight connection. I also appreciate the phillips head on the tightening bolt - it makes it a lot easier to crank these down quickly with a drill/driver. A word of advice - I found these clamps to be A LOT cheaper at Menards.
I see that Amazon lowered the price back down to $1. At the time of my original review, they price was up around $4.hence the 1 star. The product itself works as advertised, so I give it 5 stars.
