I recommend these clamps they work great and I love that the surface that contacts the hose is completely smooth. Just make sure your application has room for the worm gear bolt as it is quite large.
If you are replacing radiator hoses this clamp is what you need! Don't buy stock hose clamps, they don't distribute pressure evenly and will leak (like my truck). This clamp worked well and stopped all leaks, all at a great price.
I bought these for my 2010 Impreza because the clamps I used on the radiator hoses kept loosening. I'm not sure if they keep the tension right. I had to tighten and check them within a few weeks of installation. Next time I will use spring clips.
Ordered four (4x) clips. I had a problem sealing the lower radiator hose. Was it a clamp, a new hose, or a bump on the side of the engine? I don't know why it kept leaking, but I really had to tighten it.
I used this on a 2" radiator hose (55mm). The other hose had 1.75" and 1.5" (50mm/44mm) ends. I didn't feel it would be enough for these sizes, despite the specs saying so. I wish they made a smaller size for this clip. It's pretty darn tough and at only $5 it's a bargain.
Other users have said that this hose fixes leaking radiator hoses. Tried different clamps from Autozone and they performed worse. I replaced the hose, I thought the problem is there. No, that wasn't the point, the original clamp seemed strong, but it was already weak. It seems to be the solution to the problem. For a $5 man, that's a deal
Bought these clamps in conjunction with changing the clamps on my car ALWAYS leaking. I've tried so many different clamps and they've all dripped onto my radiator hose fittings. So much wasted coolant, so frustrating. THESE CLAMPS WERE THE SOLUTION. With their help, there will be no more leaks. Really high quality stuff. I still had a small leak but that was due to corrosion on the coolant tube. No more problems after cleaning.
