Jubilee Clip, Hose Clips, where do you buy yours?

wireman · Oct 14, 2020

I've always liked to replace hose clips whenever I change a hose, up to recently I have bought my hose clips from Toolstation and they used to be ok, now though they just don't tighten up enough before 'slipping'. I have gone back to refurbishing old ones front 'emergency' box as I can't trust the new ones. So where can I buy good quality but not overpriced hose clips?

Normally buy from local motor spares shop.

I work with boats so I only use marine grade stainless steel clips. Replace them once & forget
about them.

e-bay or our local faster place as they are genuine Jubilee. I too check the old ones first as some seem much heavier construction

Stainless Steel for me too. I buy them in bulk, as they're normally cheaper that way.
I actually like Norma Stainless Steel worm clips, but they're getting difficult to get now, so I normally end up with generic stainless clips instead.

Most modern vehicles use once only clips, so having a good stock of worm clips is essential.

I prefer the double ear or spring clip type these days but if I do use a jubilee I tend to get all my hose clips from our local Cromwell Tools

As @Nodge68 , use Norma st/st...or Mikalor or Kale Clamp. Mikalor for heavy duty, Kale for standard as they have a superb detailed rolled side edge ensuring no chaffing of hose. And always tighten with a good lubrication to ensure no thread galling. A quick google search to find best supplier pricing...

+1 for Mikalor. They can be tightened much more securely than a jubilee clip and do not degrade. Buy once and reuse as much as you like.

Agreed re Mikalor, I use them where there is more load, they give a good seal and hold well.
