WHOA THERE !  Big bone of contention there with me.  I “think” those spring clamps are the best clamp you can put on the hoses.  Period !  Constant pressure and they do not CHEW up the hoses !  Here at Frank Condelli & Associates I toss all other style clamps in favour of the spring clamps !  I keep all the sizes in stock.  So…….there ya go two mechanics with different opinions.
