304 Stainless Steel Hose Clamp Assortment Kit DIY, Cut-To-Fit 50 FT Metal Strap+24 Stronger Fasteners, Large Adjustable Worm Gear Hose Clamps Screw Clamps Duct Pipe Metal Clamp Strapping

Perfect for what I needed. My old White Mountain ice cream freezer bucket wires were about rusted thru and ready to break. Not a good thing since a new bucket is a couple 100$$s and they are plastic now. So my White Mountain freezer should last many more years. These are a great product and eady to use.

Arrived as described and did what I needed for it to do. Worked great.

The directions help a lot, mainly to be aware of not allowing the strap to "spring" open. I love the ability to make a durable clamp of practically any diameter. I found the strap very easy to start inside the clamp opening. Once tightened, the adjustment screw does not allow the metal strap to slip from it's original stop position. I ordered a 12' roll to give it a try. I'll order a bigger roll next time.....definitely recommend for multiple DIY applications.

Do you sometimes need an odd-sized hose clamp, especially one that would be bigger than you would normally use? If so, this is the kit for you. I have used it to clamp hoses as big as 8" with great success (note, not a high pressure hose, one that big would take a special high strength clamp). I think these were designed for things like ductwork, where you may need very large clamps. Anyway, the clamps work well from about 1-1/2 inch hose on up, and if put together right, seem to be as strong as a standard automotive style clamp. The only reason this doesn't get 4 or 5 stars, is for 2 reasons:1) it isn't that easy to get put together. You will need a good set of pliers, cutters strong enough to cut the stainless steel band, and a small flat bladed screwdriver. You will also need to do a trial run at assembly, to be sure that the band is put on the right way. The band is tightened by a screw with the threads of the screw engaging the slots in the band. If you look, the screw threads are at a small angle, as are the slots in the band. If put together the proper way, it works very smoothly, if put together with the screw backwards in relation to the band, tightening it is very 'gritty' and I doubt as strong. You will need to attach the screw part of the clamp to the band, which requires a good set of pliers as the band is strong and slick, and slips out of the jaws of chintzy pliers easily. You then need to be sure the little 'ear' on the clamp engages one of the notches in the band (a small straight screwdriver is good for prying it into place). It isn't overly difficult if you have the right tools, but to be done right does require a bit of precision, and a bit of time.The second problem I have run into, is poor quality control on the tightener mechanism. The kit comes with several, and for me, one works great, and the next one will slip easily. Long story short, it is made of two parts that are kind of 'clamped' together, with the screw held in between the two halves. If you put it together on the bench, and it seems loose, take your pliers, and squeeze the little ears where the halves clamp together so they fit more tightly. Once I figured out to do this, no more slipping of the band unless you try tightening it beyond what any sane person would try. I could tighten the clamps as tight as I possibly could with a screwdriver with zero issues, and I'm a 200# man with XL hands, and above average hand strength. Once you get the screw clamp part mounted on the band, just measure how long you need it, and cut to length (I suggest you add a little because an inch too long is far better than an inch too short).IF, and I say IF you are willing to take the extra time to make sure the band is oriented correctly, and also are willing to ensure the screw engages the band fully (and are willing to squeeze it tighter if you have to) this is an excellent universal hose clamp kit, especially if you need to clamp something large in diameter.Average rating because of the quality control issues on how well the tensioner mechanism is put together, but very good quality otherwise. The band is strong, and it is all Stainless, so it shouldn't rust.

Easy to use, delivered fast. Great bang for ur buck👍🏽 used to hold my mini bike tank up.

👍

great solution at good value. no more trying to find the perfect length hose clamp. thanks

It’s a clamp. It works well I used it to replace the clamp on my DR lawn sweeper hose. Was large enough to go around the hose and strong enough to stay attached. Easy to use
