In case
there's anyone who didn't already know this: the Chrysler-type
spring-wire
hose clamps are inherently superior to the screw-down
clamps, because, as
long as the spring-wire guys are not defective, and
are properly size-mated
to the subject hose , they will continue to
exert pressure onto the
hose, due to their natural
compression
characteristics.
Neil is 110% correct. The Corbin clamps are everything he
says. Which is precisely the reason Chrysler used them. As stated the
problems can occur when an improper size or a weak one gets used. Also..
the tool for installation and removal can be readily obtained
and should be in every tool box. Makes removal so much easier than
even the screw clamps. It is my belief that much of the replacement
was an appearance issue. Not on any sound engineering analysis.
