Anyone found a suitable replacement for the OEM hose clamps? Something about the worm gear hose clamp just scream "Look at me! I'm not factory installed!!"

I read that a lot of people don't like the OEM ones for different reasons, but I think they look so much cleaner and more "factory like." I know the PEX clamps are closer and hold well. But the damn tool is $100 and doesn't fit well into certain areas.

Here's the PEX ones: PEX Pipe & Tubing Clamps - Seamless

 

Yea I prefer the wire ones my self the reason I think most dont like em is because of the corrosion that can set in. Then reuse can suck becasue of that. I oonly use worm when there is corrosion to the base metal.

 

These here look like some nicens

 

I like the rubber sleeved clamps myself with stainless steel components

 

Where can thos be purchased from? Local hardware stores only have PEX crimp style and worm gear style. I found the PN for the ford clamps. They can be purchased online from fordparts.com. But those are disposable and pricey. I'd like something reusable.

 

Fastenal has just about every style I can imagine. Just in case anyone else was interested.

 

Rock, where did those come from, I like them, will check out Fastenal too
