i was wondering about these?
don't want to use jubilee clamps, they're rubbish.
mikalor(sp?) ones seem good, but where's good to buy from?

Mikalor stainless

Don't confuse genuine "Jubilee" brand hose Clips with the cheap immitation eastern european and chinese made hose clips on the market some of which are absolutely useless. Jubilee clips are first class items.

The T Bolt clips are good clips but take care not to over tighten them.

Back to when i used to work in our farm in Greece, we used Mikalor clamps at the end of the water hoses that where under 3+ Bar pressure.

I get Mikalor from my local tractor supply place.

I replace all the cooling system clamps with these on my cars.

I like the look of the mikalor?....never used them. used to work at Sealine boats where we used stainless jubilee clips....no problem,but we did use 2 at a time especially on the bilge connections and fuel lines.....hallo sailor

We use those mikalor tipe clamps all the time at work for Hydraulic return lines. Certainly with a return filter in need of replacement presures of 20 bar are not that unusual. Never had any problems with the clamps.
