Not a good price. Get more for cheaper at Harbor Freight especially when using a coupon

Please don't use these types of clamps on coolant or intercooler hoses. For automotive applications, get non-perforated smooth edge clamps (also sometimes called marine clamps or European car clamps). Look for brands such as Norma, breeze, aba... you could also us t-bolt or v-band but those are usually overkill

I second this. Used cheap clamps, had leaks, ended up replacing everything with Breeze.

HF clamps are junk, speaking from experience.

I'm going to guess TICONN aren't top quality either.

If nothing else I know the HF clamps aren't 304 stainless.

If you want a box of hose clamps to say you have a box of hose clamps, this works. If you are going to use them, stay FAR AWAY from cheap hose clamps. You get what you pay for.

I agree! They are made of some sort of soft alloy that the screw drive mechanism comes apart easily and will strip will little force

Especially don't use on fuel lines.... Maybe if it's carbureted, but definitely not fuel injection with higher pressure
