single ear hose clamps

Good quality, nice kit. However, it did not contain the size I needed, between the two larges sizes, and had to buy separate. Given that, still kept the kit, as the selection and quantity is good.

make sure they size you need is present before purchase, works for all my projects personally, easy to use and tool feels good in the hand. sealed in plastic. great value

We have a small factory, and will use these to repair pneumatic / air tool hoses, and make small 'whip' hoses from old hoses. CONCLUSION Highly recommended. At ~$30, you can't go wrong. You could easily spend 5x-10x that much for half this qty of band clamps at HD or LOW (before the lost time driving). THE GOOD • Fast & easy installation. See photos and the video I attached showing me crimping a 3/8" barb fitting on an old 3/8" rubber air hose. It only takes seconds to slip on and crimp. • There are NO SHARP EDGES to cut your hands like what you get with those screw down hose clamps. • Huge assortment of bands! Probably won't use most sizes, but figured I'd get the assortment to see which ones we'll use and then re-order those specific sizes. FYI, In our application, the hose OD expands when you insert the barbed repair fitting, so I didn't end up using the size I thought I would. The bands compress quite a bit - I was (pleasantly) surprised how much slack it took up. • Each band is stamped with it's "open" size: The 12.8-15.3mm bands I used to fix our air hose are stamped 153 on them for easy size identification. • Much tighter than a screw-type band clamp - especially for small diameters. I often find I damage traditional clamps by over-tightening them, and then the screw jumps the band. These get REALLY TIGHT... see photos. THE BAD • The box is cheap - what I expect with this sort of thing at this price, and it arrived cracked. The damage likely had more to do with Amazon's shipping it in a bubble mailer vs a corrugated box. I don't fault the manufacturer for this as much as I fault Amazon - so I didn't take off a star for that. That said, I put a little duct tape over the hinge and the cracks, and it'll be fine. I didn't buy it for the organizer, I bought it to fix our hoses. OTHER FYI • These are permanent for better or worse: Unlike a screw type band clamp, there is no removing them once installed - cut them off to remove them. • I don't know why I used two of these on my air hose (in case anyone is wondering). It was my first time using it, and I realized I could fit two on there, so I did. Next time I will probably only use one per repair. These squeeze the hose way more than a screw down clamp does; maybe because they're narrower, maybe because the tool gives you greater mechanical advantage. I'm not sure why, but it's visually evident that the clamps are much tighter on the hose than traditional band clamps.

You need to have one if you deal with beer lines and taps or soda systems with BIBS. This will be your lifesaver when you have a leak in the soda or beer lines and need it fixed quickly. Also works for the lines in the glycol system.

These were exactly the type of clips I needed to attach the rubber boot over the iRBR actuator arm on my 2018 SeaDoo Spark Trixx. There is so little room to maneuver that it would be very difficult to use the clamps that have a tightening screw, so I can see why the OEM uses these types of clamps. I'm really glad this kit included the crimper tool and I see it as a necessity.

Like the assorted pieces plus the crisper is durable. Pleased so far

You need this in your tool box. Don't use every day, but when you have to fix a hose, it works ten times better than those pesky screw clamps.

These work just fine and are easy to install .
