There are two kinds of those hose clamps. The cheaper ones worm screw is
made out of common steel and will rust up real good. The nicer ones use a
stainless steel worm screw along with the stainless steel band. When buying
hose clamps, look for the ones marked "all stainless steel" I have found
that the good ones cost no more than the cheap ones in many cases. You will
also find good ones mixed in with the cheaper ones at times.
