Re: *spring* type hose clamps (tp85)
I think you're smoking crack if you like those more, but you can probably just ask anyone that has pulled a bunch off of their car. I personally have about 15 strewn about my garage but most of them are mangled from removal.
SOrry I have no info, I just can't believe you prefer them.

The spring type clamps are much better to use, you can always be sure the correct tension is on the hose. the dealer is the only place I know to get them.

Whoever invented those hard-to-take-off little bits of evil should be shot. Ever try to get one off that had the little tabs rotated to an inacessible area? :eek:

The way kill a hose in a hurry is to use a screw clamp and over tighten it and watch to clamp eat into your hose.

Re: *spring* type hose clamps (Jim D)
McMaster- Carr has all sorts of clamps. Worm gear clamps that don't chew up the hose, worm gear with springs, and, the type I was looking for, spring hose clamps (PN 7329K11).
