Project Farm tests hose claps. Were gonna test that >>>>>>>>>>>>.

I always preferred the breeze brand over the other brands.

 

[RooflessVW]

I always use spring clamps or my ClampTite

I usually love project farm but this was a monumental fail. He only tested one constant tension clamp and it wasn't the correct size so he wrapped the hose in electrical tape. How is that scientific?

Poorly done project farm. I have never had a quality constant tension clamp fail in automotive application.

 

[Hyundai Respecter]

The Norma clamps were very impressive!

+1 pretty much worthless, I dont have a 400+ psi cooling system but I do have one that sees extreme cold and heat.

Thankfully, it did provide enough information to validate that using a US made clamp from Breeze is still a good choice.

Instead of testing so many no name clamps from China, he could have included clamps that Advance, AutoZone and O'Reilly's sells.... since this is where lots of people buy their clamps.

The constant pressure hose clamp(s used by manufacturers are way better than any screw type clamp when used with OEM hoses.

I completely agree on the two he tested with the wrong size & used electrical tape - that was a sloppy attempt. Also, instead of all the nearly identical chinese ones, I hoped he'd included one of the "crimp type" (oeticker?).

BMW has one high quality part in the cooling system. The hose clamps.

And the Kevlar reinforced hoses.

Yup. The screw/worm clamps will dig into the rubber cutting it over time.

 

[Hillbilly Deluxe]

All of you test hose clamps everyday. I know I do. I've yet to have one fail.


Project Farm is running on E. A lot of his tests have been duds lately. JMO.

 

[Al]

Constant tension is really the only way to go. No question

 

[2strokeNorthstar]

And the Kevlar reinforced hoses.

Most modern vehicles seem to have quality hoses.

Does anyone go through their car or boat and replace all the screw/worm clamps with constant pressure clamps? Or just swap out the clamps when you are replacing a hose or radiator, etc?

I will replace non full stainless clamps with stainless if used in salt water but never had the need to use the constant pressure clamps.
