Which kind of hose clamp do you guys prefer? Nylon ones, regular hose clamps, or some other kind?

Don't matter much zip ties, nylon ones, worm drive they all do the job.

Spring clamp.

They seal perfectly uniform, so theres no chance of anything leaking under the gear like on a worm drive clamp.

Worm drive clamps are bad? Why?

ACE (not ACO) supposedly carries spring clamps but all I've ever seen are empty bins =(

My acehardware (NE Tucson) sells them for ~10 cents a piece. I think Naughton's plumbing supplies also carries them. McMaster too, but I wouldn't order a 10 cent part from them.

IME those screw on clamps always leaked a little around where the gearbox is because no matter how tigh you screw the clamp, that part can't be tightened.
