I hate Toyota Hose Clamps!!!

I've never had a problem with these clamps using a good set of pliers.

I hate these spring clips and switching to stainless worm drive clips but just having a bit of trouble getting to the one behind the water pump on that 90 bend hose

Spring clamps are superior since they adjust for temperature automatically, they're faster, they don't cut the hose, and they can't be overtightened. If you overtighten a worm-drive clamp on a plastic pipe, you'll break the pipe. Not good.

I'm sticking with spring clamps wherever possible.

Hate to revive an old old thread but what size are the radiator hoses? I'm trying to order some clamps but I'm unsure of the size of the clamps
