Quality Hose Clamps

[james accordino]

I like the OEM ones myself.  I can get a box of them
for a buck or 2 at the pickers.  I can always find
really clean, tight ones.  Not as good as high quality
aftermarket, but much, much cheaper.  I also like the
OEM Walther? bulbs on the VAG products.  Same deal at
the picker.  I've still got some of the original bulbs
in my car.  They seem to last longer than new
replacement ones.  No, not the Chinese ones that are
so loved by the used car dealers.  100 for $3.  They
last about 10 minutes.  Like the quartz bulbs for work
lamps.  Chinese bulbs-$1.  Korean-$3.  German or
Hungarian? Osram $6-7.  Guess which ones last the
longest.  Just my $.02.  Some people will tell you
anything from the picker is junk, but I don't agree.
