Cons: - Difficult to remove to reuse it (maybe it's not suggested, but sometimes you have to do it if you didn't install correctly- Sometimes difficult to fit for every cooling stuff (specially when you have to put a clamp next to another one)- Need to use a claw to compress the clamp to get a tightened clamp, and sometimes the lock grip (for closing the clamp) get diagonally (because it's too tightened).
Pros: - Very solid- Easy to use- Very tight |

Cons:
Bloody difficult to close (although it may be my fault as I didn't use a vicegrip)
Pros: SturdyFits well Comment:
Just bought a bunch of these in order to hold my tubes and barbs together. I really didn't expect this, but they were brutally difficult to close them by hand. But this was entirely my fault as I didn't realize how easy it was if you use a vicegrip. Overall though, very pleased with the product, and would recommend it to anyone looking for hose clamps for their build. |

Cons:
a bit pricey for two plastic pieces
Pros: cheap, works as described Comment:
These clamps works as advertised, holds the hose on the barb. They have a good design for looking and easy to unlock also. They are a bit pricey for only 2 plastic pieces but they do work quite well so I can't really complain that much. Also they are reusable and looks alot better than zip ties! |

Cons: Cannot put much force into them
Pros: low price, easy to use Comment:
Used these on 1/2" barbs on my heatkiller cpu block as the holes are too close together to use the Bitspower compression fittings I bought. There are no leaks and I have no complaint. |

Cons: none.
Pros: Good fitre-useable Comment:
Works well, holds the tube on barbs no problem. A little hard to get more than 1-2 "ticks" tightening out of them. Easier to work with than compression fittings in tight spaces. |

Cons: -Can be a tight fit for a pair on some CPU blocks such as a Fuzion V2.
Pros: -Cheap.-Simple.-Black, won't reflect light in many different setups.-Reusable Comment:
I bought a few packs of these to replace my zip-ties on my loop, which are only a one shot deal. The give a nice secure fit, and do exactly what they're supposed to. It's a nice fact that the plastic won't reflect light, so many UV users or people with a great deal of CCFL's will find them very worthwhile.The only issue I have with them is that they can be a tight fit on some CPU blocks such as the Fuzion V2 layout, however it seems to be a design flaw relating to the block design moreso than the clamps. They're also slightly tight to clamp down on the stock barbs on the MCP655, but it's doable with some elbow grease.Overall they're a great investment. |

Cons: None
Pros: ReuseableDurable Comment:
Work extremely well for what it's worth. Relatively durable, and work better than zip ties (and look much cleaner as well, FWIW).Get a few extra, though, because they do wear out after a couple uses (the locking mechanism loosens a little bit), but for $.50 a piece, one can't complain. |

Cons: - Maybe not at solid as zip-ties
Pros: - Work- Cheap Comment:
I have used these on 4 loops over a year and a half with no problems. They tighten nicely without any gaps in pressure. I also use a pair of pliers to tighten them a bit more than I can do just by hand. These do not fit on an MCW60 with 1/2" barbs and 3/4"OD tubing, so I had to use zip-ties there, but these go everywhere else. I did not count on Swiftech product coming with these so I ended up with a lot of extras which work great for cable management!!**These are easy to loosen. Use a flat bladed screwdriver, tighten one on a spare piece of tubing and you will see there's a spot where you can insert the flat blade and twist and it just pops open. Very handy...** This review was modfied by poster @ 01-31-09 09:40 PM |

Cons: -Plastic-Difficult to loosen at times-Expensive
Pros: -Tightens the seal of your tubing on your barbs-Not "flashy", like a metal clamp would be Comment:
These guys do exactly what is advertised and not give off a glow that some metal clamps may give off. |

Cons: Hard to undo them(to re-use them), but that is otherwise a good thing.
Pros: They are great high quality hose clamps. that do the job perfectly. They are re-usable, and hold tight Comment:
They are great re-usable, I grabbed them for all of my barb areas, to have them make sure they stay clamped shut. And they have so far. |

Cons: price
Pros: Works great Comment:
Good ol' hoser clamps. No leaks here, i prefer em over zipties. I bought quite a bit, and even with the price i think its worth it, especially since you can re-use em. |

Cons: Works on certain hoses only
Pros: Easy to use Comment:
Well I bought a bunch of these to use on my barb fittings.I ended up using a combination of barbs and compression fittings and these work with the larger outer diameter hoses around 3/4 OD |

Cons: Cost more than zip ties
Pros: Keep the H20 from spilling in my PC. Look better than zip ties Comment:
Well these do what I bought them for and while they are more costly then zipties they also look better so it's up to you... |
This clamp is very good quality clamp. It never broke when I use it for my watercooling kit (Swiftech H2O-220 Ultima plus XT). It fit for every tube on the market, because of his lock grip, and I never get worries about leakage from the watercooling tubes. I'm very satisfied of this product.
