    Eric,
    They sounded like a good idea but when I saw them I wondered why they
    take bites out of the metal that is counted on to hold and also may
    damage the hose if too tight?
    Compare them with the AWAB clamps recommended by many: http://
    www.awabllc.com/index.html

    One of the strong points of the AWAB (besides not rusting) is they do
    not cut the clamp.
