Gates Power Grip Hose Clamps

Has anyone used these clamps yet ? I've looked at reviews and can't find any negativeshttp://www.speedwaymotors.com/Gates-32948-Power-Grip-Hose-Clamp-1-3-4-Inch-2-Inch-OD,9298.html.

I put them on my wifes car this year. They look and work great. When we finished the car it had a overheating problem. It got over 230 a couple of times but the clamps never failed. They install like giant srink wrap. Just use a heat gun. I'm planning on adding them to my Challenger.

Thanks for the feedback Joe. I have always hated the look of hose clamps, and more often than not been known to cut off the tail after there tight, and turn them so the screw is not visible. These clamps look like the answer to my prayers.   :woohoo: :woo: I just a nut case on detail.
