They shrink tight, they don't leak and they make for a very clean install. No unsightly hose clamps or band clamps that might leak and/or chew up a hose.

I would like to use these clamps on a 1969 truck restoration but also for the A/C hoses. This truck has dealer installed air with regular hose clamps holding the hoses to the equipment. Any reason they won't work? Correct sizes used of course.
