Steelex D4348 Wire Hose Clamp, 2-1/2-Inch, 10-Pack

If you don't want leaks in your vac system, these work great and are very strong.

I ordered the wrong size. That's my fault.But the items were delivered on time and looks likethey would work perfectly.... if my hose was big enoughfor them to work on. :(Supplier would probably have taken them back, but itwould have been more trouble than it's work for me tomess with it. Now I have a stockpile of 2-1/2" hose Clampsif I ever need them. :)

Don't tighten with a drill. I had about 1/3 of these where the little disc at the end of the tension bolt snapped off and would no longer tighten (the bolt would simply thread right on through). The band style clamps (similar to those commonly used for dryer duct connections) would be my recommendation instead. Otherwise you have to tighten these by hand (which was not my expectation). Poor quality. I gave it 2 stars only because the other 2/3 of the 30 I bought did work (albeit tightening by hand), and thus took a lot longer for me to install. Sure, I could try and tighten most of the way with a drill until I believed there was enough tension that would require the rest by hand (if you have a tension setting on a variable speed drill, I suppose you could set it to a lower setting to keep from over-tightening), but if you go too far....snap...it's all over, go get a new one!

I was looking for simple wire hose clamps to attach my dust collection ducting system and saw this 10-pack priced at the same level as the competitors 5-pack. The item photo showed what appeared to be identical looking clamps. I nearly went with two competitor 5-packs because I assumed something had to be wrong with the quality of these. Upon receiving them however I find the quality to be just fine. They serve their purpose and my dust collection system is securely in place. Don't hesitate to buy these hose clamps, it's a good deal.

Exactly what I needed to connect my shop vac and dust deputy together for my dust collection system upgrade!

Quality Clamps Fast Delivery

Worked

This is a very good product and was as good as it said it was.

These are not as well made as the ones available from KMS Tools and the price is comparable. Would not buy again.
