How often do we see this?


This was on the same truck.........

 

Ha, yeah I'm surprised it didn't say China/Taiwan on it.
Good 'ol USA steel. Ever notice the difference in steel from China compared to USA? Just look at plain carbon steel... the Chinese stuff can be cut with a plastic putty knife it's so soft. Might as well be lead or brass.

 

Yea Chinese hose clamps are about all that can be found nowadays.
That's why I was surprised to find these.
Don't remember ever seeing Mexican hose clamps......
Thinking about selling that American clamp on Ebay. Rare as they are it ought to fetch a good price.

 

i have 4 boxes of them out in the garage.

 

Which ones?

Mexican, Chinese, or U.S.?

If they are made in the U.S, where did you get them and how long ago did you get them? Are the boxes dusty?
I couldn't even find U.S made clamps at the NAPA store.

 

usa. i bought a case of each size around 20 years when i still was in business and had 21 vehicles in the fleet.

 

I think I got a bunch of USA-made ones at Home Depot....
