With rivets you shouldn't have to worry about the ends of you antenna sliding out of joints with hose clamps.

Chris,
Lessee, 30 seconds times the 110 or so rivets in a C3-S is about one 
hour of rivet time,  add to that looking in the manual, dropping a 
few rivets, rechecking, putting NOALOX on the many sections, 
rechecking, dropping a few rivets, clearing the rivet tool, checking 
the manual.........
This is a LOT more time consuming than putting 24 hose clamps 
(approx) on the typical tribander.
I'm not knocking the Force 12. The instructions and markings are 
excellent...It just takes a little time and patience to put one 
together.
