Why don't you all start your own thread dedicated to the hose clamp fetish you have. By the way, I have been wrenching on for 44 years now and have owned over 150 cars along the way. I have never had an issue with properly installed worm gear style hose clamps. If the hose and nipple are the correct sizes the worm gear clamp does a wonderful job tightening the hose down to keep it from being pulled off the barbs or barb on the end of the nipple. I would say if they where as dangerous or bad as couple of you are convinced then I would have had a failure during the last 44 years. I am convinced that I am not the only one on this forum that can say the same. I have nothing against someone wanting to use a "better" clamp but don't belittle those who choose to use a different style clamp. This thread has now drifted to the point people are feeling compelled to show pictures of their cars to prove to the group that they have the "right kind" of clamps.
