First time using these wire type hose clamps. I thought they were easier to apply and had a better grip than the band type hose clamps.
If you compare the pics close they look exactally the same. They came quickly and work fine. I looked at these and the other 4" hose clamps Amazon is selling and couldn't tell a difference other than a huge one in the price, so I ordered 50 of these for a new dust collection system. Several out of the 50 had some problems, mostly missing the small washer at the screw end, which is easy to find a replacement for.I don't see how Jet can charge almost almost $5 for one of these clamps when Grizzly charges $5.90 for 10. Save your money and buy the Grizzly. Even with the shipping you come out way ahead.
These clamps are as advertised. They are a good buy, but not the best I have used.
Still waitng for these to arrive. C'mon Grizzly. I'm using zip ties for now as these are apparently made of unobtanium and may never ship.
A DUST-COLLECTION SYSTEM IS A MUST FOR ANY WORKSHOP. I USED A COMBINATION OF THESE HOSE-CLAMPS AND THE "OLD-SCHOOL" HOSE CLAMPS (THE TYPE TYPICALLY USED ON RADIATOR HOSES) AND I PREFERRED THIS STYLE. THE COST OF BUILDING SUCH A UNIT CAN BE DAUNTING.THIS IS A GREAT VALUE AND, AS SUCH, MAKES IT THAT MUCH MORE AFFORDABLE TO PUT TOGETHER A DUST-COLLECTION SYSTEM TO ENHANCE THE AIR-QUALITY AND SAFETY OF YOUR SHOP.AS FOR THE CLAMPS THEMSELVES, I REALLY LIKE THEM.
