Style hose clamps?... Is that a brand or a kind?...

What style are you using? Some of the kits have known issues, especially with newer thinwall hoses.

Ok, first things first orheptal..seeing that you are a new member.
We will need to know what make and model car you are working on and, is it a 6 cyl or V-8.
1. post a pic of the clamp you are trying to use and where you are trying to use it.
2. is it a heater hose, upper or lower rad hose or, a by-pass hose?
3. are the hoses new ? Do you know the name brand?
This is the kind of info you will need when looking for assistance as there are so many variations.
Cheers!!
You Canadians are way too nice, haha.
I like the Gates Powergrip clamps. Look um up.
Corbin clamps. You have to have the right ones or they won't seal.

don't forget the corbin clamp pliers to go with 'em!
I like the flat wide corbin clamps like a lot of the imports use, not the wire ones. But I really like those Gates Powergrip clamps. Very neat looking and they work.
Oh my, I just read this thread in anticipation and................nothing. 
I didn't realize a clamp question would grab my attention, but it has!

I got sucked in too. The thread title looked cryptic and headed for a clusterf*ck. lol. Hopefully the O.P. returns soon and clarifies things. Inquiring minds and all that...Oh my, I just read this thread in anticipation and................nothing.

Yeah, for years I fought those things using a Channel-loc pliers, sent about 50% of 'em flying across the shop... finally bit the bullet and bought a good pair of clamp pliers and never looked back. Easy-peasy.
