Excellent product! This is the best thing for the odd size clamps. Actually any size clamps. If you don’t mind making your own clamp, this is a way to go. I absolutely love this stuff. It’s easy to use… It’s just a great thing.! I used lineman pliers instead of needle, nose players as shown in the pictures to me there’s better leverage with that. I also cut it very easily with some tin snips And had no trouble at all.Definitely easy to use. I definitely recommend it.

Does the job.

Heavy duty, and strong! Easy to set up and use, and the ability to make a strap as long as I want is super. But it is way stronger than the made up smaller straps for hose clamps and pipe clamps. I used this to strap a 4" PVC downspout to a 16" diameter concrete pillar, and it worked great!

Needed an extralong clamp for a repair, 40 inch. This was perfect option. Make whatever you need from 3 inches to 12 feet and for very reasonable cost. Took five minutes to make two clamps I needed and they worked great. Easy to cut and trim. Attaching clamp end takes a minute, especially first time but you quickly catch on. Instruction sheet is included as well as 8 clamp ends. This just plain a great idea. Beats trying to have 14 different sizes on hand for just in case - especially for really big ones you'd never plan for..

I’m thoroughly pleased with the Stainless Steel Hose Clamp Assortment Kit, especially for my segmented bowl-making projects. The quality of these clamps is impressive, with sturdy, durable stainless steel construction that holds up well to frequent use.One of the standout features is how easy it is to create custom-sized clamps using the included components. The kit offers excellent versatility, allowing me to adjust the clamp size to fit different project dimensions. This flexibility has been a great for securing segmented bowl rings while gluing and clamping them together—no slipping or loosening during the process.The clamps tighten smoothly and hold securely without cutting into the wood, and they’re resistant to rust, which is a big plus for longevity. The assortment of sizes that I can make with the kit is anything smaller than 12 feet in circumference or eight separate clamps that add up to 12 feet. Its a great value for anyone working on woodworking, automotive, or general home repair projects.Overall, I highly recommend this kit for its quality, ease of use, and versatility. It's a must-have addition to any craftsperson's or DIYer’s toolbox.

I was somewhat reluctant to try this clamp; but it was easy to use after a couple of tries.I can make the clamp as big or as small as I want and I had no stripping whatsoever even when I applied considerable force.I am using it to clamp my patio umbrellas to fence poles. No rusting and no loosening.Recommended.

Good

Do you sometimes need an odd-sized hose clamp, especially one that would be bigger than you would normally use? If so, this is the kit for you. I have used it to clamp hoses as big as 8" with great success (note, not a high pressure hose, one that big would take a special high strength clamp). I think these were designed for things like ductwork, where you may need very large clamps. Anyway, the clamps work well from about 1-1/2 inch hose on up, and if put together right, seem to be as strong as a standard automotive style clamp. The only reason this doesn't get 4 or 5 stars, is for 2 reasons:1) it isn't that easy to get put together. You will need a good set of pliers, cutters strong enough to cut the stainless steel band, and a small flat bladed screwdriver. You will also need to do a trial run at assembly, to be sure that the band is put on the right way. The band is tightened by a screw with the threads of the screw engaging the slots in the band. If you look, the screw threads are at a small angle, as are the slots in the band. If put together the proper way, it works very smoothly, if put together with the screw backwards in relation to the band, tightening it is very 'gritty' and I doubt as strong. You will need to attach the screw part of the clamp to the band, which requires a good set of pliers as the band is strong and slick, and slips out of the jaws of chintzy pliers easily. You then need to be sure the little 'ear' on the clamp engages one of the notches in the band (a small straight screwdriver is good for prying it into place). It isn't overly difficult if you have the right tools, but to be done right does require a bit of precision, and a bit of time.The second problem I have run into, is poor quality control on the tightener mechanism. The kit comes with several, and for me, one works great, and the next one will slip easily. Long story short, it is made of two parts that are kind of 'clamped' together, with the screw held in between the two halves. If you put it together on the bench, and it seems loose, take your pliers, and squeeze the little ears where the halves clamp together so they fit more tightly. Once I figured out to do this, no more slipping of the band unless you try tightening it beyond what any sane person would try. I could tighten the clamps as tight as I possibly could with a screwdriver with zero issues, and I'm a 200# man with XL hands, and above average hand strength. Once you get the screw clamp part mounted on the band, just measure how long you need it, and cut to length (I suggest you add a little because an inch too long is far better than an inch too short).IF, and I say IF you are willing to take the extra time to make sure the band is oriented correctly, and also are willing to ensure the screw engages the band fully (and are willing to squeeze it tighter if you have to) this is an excellent universal hose clamp kit, especially if you need to clamp something large in diameter.Average rating because of the quality control issues on how well the tensioner mechanism is put together, but very good quality otherwise. The band is strong, and it is all Stainless, so it shouldn't rust.
