This clamp stopped a rattle on the air intake on my Subaru, and good auto parts stores are getting harder to find.
My experience is that this style of clamp provides a better seal than band clamps. This clamp provides a solid seal and is very well built. I'm not sure but I think it's stainless steel.
But if for some reason you need wire hose clamp, I'm sure you'd be happy with this one. I didn't really need this. I just needed to make the $25 minimum for the free shipping.
Gets the job done and for a buck, it gets two thumbs up. This clamp works as expected. In some instances, it works better than an adjustable pipe clamp for flexible duct connections since flexible duct has the spiral metal framework.
The wires strattle the ribbing on the hose, creating a nice tight fit. I tried them first, and stripped more than I put on. This is a nice simple piece of critical equipment. I put on quite a few of these wire clamps without one problem, air leak or lose hose.I wish I could say the same for the steel band clamps. Go with the wire clamps, and do it right the first time. If it didn't work properly, it could cause a lot of hassle (air gaps / hoses coming off). The two wires fit easily over the end of the hose and seated snuggly on each side of the hose groove and then clamped up nice with just a phillips screwdriver.
