Just what is "All Stainless"??
I inherited a huge bag of "SS" hose clamps with the boat I purchased. Some
were obviously zinc screws, so I brought out a big magnet and separated all of them. They fell into three categories: 1. Strong attraction to the magnet 2. Weak but noticeable attraction. 3. No attraction. Categories 1 & 3 were about 1/4 each of the total bag, category 2 was about half of them. I gave away all the 1s and 2s. -- Keith __ Practice safe eating - always use condiments. "James" wrote in message ... "Steve" wrote in message ... I was removing some hose clamps from the hoses to my head. (minor leak). . Hmm! did Uncle Sam get screwed also?? Frustrated With rusting hose clamps. Steve s/v Good Intentions Uncle Sam was most likly who demanded the manufacturers saved an extra 5cents on each clamp.. and as his order was for VAST quantity.. his spec became the norm |
