The thing with Wiggins clamps is that they are very sensitive to misalignment. They WILL blow off if they aren't EXACTLY lined up. They also do not provide any compliance in a charge-air system, unlike a silicone hose setup.

The Wiggins are very easy to use however and can work well if loading is minimal and the bits are lined up...

Found a good replacement for those PITA ziptie applications (vac/boost tubes) here.

Check out the snap-grip clamps, I'm gonna order about 50 ea of several sizes

I work with these frequently at work on aircraft. Sometimes if everything doesn't line up too well it can be rather difficult to slide the sleive over and get the clamp to engage. Nothing a little hand sanitizer can't fix though
