In the high end marine world ABA clamps, manufactured in SWEDEN not China are considered the choice for critical applications. Things like keeping the ocean out and fuels in.https://www.normaamericasds.com/brands/abaAlso a significant number of the so called "stainless" clamps offered are not in fact that high in quality. Take a magnet along when buying them and check especially the screw. While technically SS they are all too often of very low quality material and will deteriorate quickly. Any perforated design among the worm gear clamps is generally a poor choice if looking for high clamp pressure.Patrick, W7TMT-----Original Message-----From: TowerTalk <towertalk-bounces at contesting.com> On Behalf Of Jon Pearl - W4ABCSent: Sunday, August 7, 2022 17:53To: towertalk reflector <towertalk at contesting.com>Cc: CrankupTiltoverTowers at groups.ioSubject: [TowerTalk] Hose Clamps Compared...Sixteen hose clamps are put through a torture test in the video, below.
