Home Depot, I have metal ones, with a screw that lets you decide how tight. Work great.

The same, make sure you get plenty because you can use them to reinforce kinks as well.

Home Depot 5/8" hose clamps x 14; they're clamped onto any point where a barb meets a hose.

Steel metal gear "worm drive" clamps. The tightness limit is how strong you are.

Those. Work pretty well for me. On some of my tight connections (3/4" hose over 1" pipe, 3/8" hose on 1/2" barbs, etc.) I don't use them, but only because I'm tight on space.SewerBeing said:

I use both those plastic ones and the metal ones.
I like the plastic ones better, TBH. I use both though.

No point in using the plastic ones to "look pretty". The metal ones work, period.

I could see wanting to use the plastic ones in a show-case, as the metal ones aren't always pretty. But since my rig is far from pretty I really don't mind hehe...
The cool little worm-drive ones would probably look better than the perforated ones and be just as safe if not more so. And maybe you could even get them anodized or otherwise colored by a local machine shop?

Plastic. They look more professional, easyer to use, A hell of alot quicker to use. Easy to use in inacsessible ares (ie. where you cant get a screwdriver to tighten the worm type! ieie. my rig! ), Cheaper
Get the idea?

Metal ones, Strong relyable, half the price of plastics, and i think they look cooler tbh
