Message	I'm looking to replace my radiator hose clamps with something that won't chew into the hose but will still do the job.. -Worm gear clamps look like crap and chew up the hose -Samco/Mercedes style (worm gear clamps with flat inner-surface) aren't bad but hard to come by and a bit pricey. -OEM wire kind tend to bind and twist up over the years. Any new replacements that beat the others? I recently installed the new spring-tension style fuel hose clamps and have been really happy with those, so I'm curious if there's been any new developments in the world of radiator hose clamps, too.
