There are a few primary issues common to low-quality hose clamps, including:
Leaks. One possible problem with clamps of subpar quality is their inability to securely form a seal within a hydraulic system, which can result in leaking fluids.
Ruptures. If a low-quality clamp is exposed to high enough pressure, it could rupture and subsequently lead to system shutdowns and costly downtime.
Safety hazards. Leaks and ruptures can ultimately damage equipment, and the nature of the damage and substances within the system may pose health and safety risks to workers.
