Hose Jubilee clips supplier

[marlinspike]

I want to replace the corroded hose clips on my old Saab engine. I was just going to buy a mixed set on ebay, but the prices vary a lot. I have realised that Jubilee is the manufacturer of the original, quality product, not the generic name, but their clips are pretty expensive. In researching, I have also read on a few forums that the cheap ones on eBay are rubbish.

Does anyone have a supplier they use for good quality, not too expensive, hose clips? Or should I just buy the £10 box from Tool Station on the basis that they should be half decent?

I was thinking of replacing them with stainless steel ones. Is it worth bothering? Thanks in advance.

Having a crap day today. Got back to the car park to find two small dents in my bonnet. Can't afford to claim on insurance again as I had to claim last year when someone jumped on the roof of the same car whilst we were at Blackpool Illuminations. Will have to save up for a pdr guy visit.

I still have a good stock of Cheney hose clips, I believe used a lot on good quality motor cars in the 60s etc, Restorers wanting the original article will pay a £100-00 for a small selection,

Thanks for the recommendations, guys. I will give the Tool Station ones a miss and check out the others.

Don't take the cheapest, they're about as pleasant as the plague.
Don't take the cheap ones even if they're free, as they're still hopeless.
Take the medium ones for simple, non demanding jobs.
Use good ones for everything else.

I find many on old machinery which are strong - you can put a spanner on to tighten them properly if needed. But, the ones I've been getting lately chew up instead, and can just about be stripped with a screwdriver.
I'm still trying to find really good ones - though I have recently got some which I'm assured are very good, but have yet to try them.

same strip them with a screwdriver rubbish!

Sounds like I'd better look after my collection of genuine Jubilee clips that "fell" into my toolbox when I left Rover.

Norma hose clips are also quite good.
