Ouch. I think I bought a tomato slicer from that guy once.
I've had better luck with the T-bar style clamps in the tougher applications.
But on my 80M 4SQ, which needed repairs every year, I gave up and went to a
combination of bolts, and rivets on the smaller sections. Not a failure since.
I've mostly given up on hose clamps as a reliable antenna fastener.
