The "real" FI clamps have rolled edges, not flat like the ones pictured. While better than the worm screw type, they're still not right.

All manufactures do same .... it's a tightrope walk between cost an reliability
Private mechanics have eyes for everything, but at last for the costs.

Ah, hose clamps and FLAPS

Last time I bought a box was for the numerous venting hoses coming off the Vanagon gas tank.

Pretty disapointed when a year later I found out that EVERY hose clamp had fractured, and all were hanging loose. I just love doing things twice. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

One of the two goals of a product is it has to work, and it has to be low in cost (and still work).

China and FLAPS. Maximize profits, minimize usefullness.

seems to be some lively discussion going on - and no one is using duct tape (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

ok - napa does have them - in 3 sizes

i just got some clamps for 9.5mm rubber hose (3/8 hose) - pn 705-1227 (large)

the pn for 5/16 rubber hose is 705-1226 (medium) (they were out of stock at 2 napa locations)

and one smaller size.

I agree with the Cap'n. I sure wouldn't use the ones in the pictures with FI. If they don't have the rolled edges they can bite into your fuel lines. I didn't have a problem finding clams with rolled edges at FLAPS last time I looked. Have they become scarce?

I had the same issue.
After spending over $10 a foot for the best fuel line you can get, I decided I shouldnt use 10-cent hose clamps.

I searched and found these at Jegs:

They dont bite into the hose like the type with the open slots.

You can also find the other kind that have the rolled edges so they are not so sharp, but as mentioned above, they have a much smaler range of hoses that they can work with:
