I had a conversation with one of our garage managers today about clamps. He told me that our company's fleet (75 reefer rigs, mostly Kenworths without sleepers, with thermokings on the trailers and another dozen long haul rigs have been using these on nearly all of the engine and thermoking hose connections for a little more then the last 5 years without a failure or any "winter weep". I never saw these before. Have you?

i have been using them for years...I have used on my 89-91-93 mustangs and my old 66 and 72 novas....They are excellant. They do seal great and look good.. However they are hard to get and can be $$$$. They are also one time use only. i used to get them from my work, but we no longer carry them as you can buy a clamp for .39 nowadays....
