when you replace sm-med vacuum hoses, do you just use worm clamps instead of buying the OEM style crimp clamps?
I hate having to mangle the crimp style clamps when replacing a hose..i like worm-style screw hose clamps because they are easy to install/remove..
but those crimp clamps look like they hold a nicer seal..
i don't know...just a thought..

on silicone work just fine as long as the hoses are sized right... On stuff 3/8 or 1/2" and up a quality Band clamp (no serrations against the hose) is good..
