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.
Even with the shipping you come out way ahead. 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. 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. They came quickly and work fine. If you compare the pics close they look exactally the same.
These clamps are as advertised. They are a good buy, but not the best I have used.
I'm using zip ties for now as these are apparently made of unobtanium and may never ship. Still waitng for these to arrive. C'mon Grizzly.
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. 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.
