Review on 4 Pack 3" Stainless Steel Hose Clamps - 75-90Mm Adjustable Worm Gear Duct Clamp by Chris Bowden

These Clamps Strip When Tightening!

Based on the reviews I had high hopes of getting some quality made China clamps that were half the price of the USA made clamps and I was also getting twice as many (20 to the pack), but that wasn't the case for these China made ones I received. When I ordered these I also ordered a 10 pack set of USA made clamps so I would have something to compare the two brands for future purchases and lucky for me I picked them up since these cheaper ones failed when I began tightening them up as I was trying to use them on my new RV with the vinyl hose lines supplying the RV faucets. I wasn't impressed with the cheap faucets the RV mfg. uses in their campers so I purchased new brand name faucets to replace the cheaper ones that come on most RV's. This brand of clamps failed as I was applying pressure to tighten them around the vinyl hose with the new brass barb fittings to prevent any future leaks from the hot and cold supply lines. I definitely would not recommend buying these but instead Ebay sells some great made in the USA clamps labeled Breeze and if you compare the two brands side by side you can see the quality of the Breeze clamps. You will pay more for the USA brand and get less clamps but if you're serious about using quality parts that will last then stay away from these Chinese made clamps (the china made ones are making their way to the garbage can) since in my case they failed to do the job!

Pros
  • Feels nice, just the right size.
Cons
  • Can be challenging to identify the correct clamp size to use with a specific hose
