Radiator hose and clamp

I just got my top radiator hose and clamp replaced. They used a worm drive clamp though, and not the original spring clamp it came with. What should I do?

Best,

Enjoy the benefits of the worm-drive clamp.

You could get a fancy clamp link this - https://conceptzperformance.com/p2m-...al_p_32050.php
Worm type clamps have been used for ages. They get the job done. Probably a good idea to recheck torque after a week or two of driving/heat cycles.

I really like the Phase2Motortrend clamps. http://www.phase2motortrend.com/category-s/205.htm

Here's a pic on my upper radiator hose:



They just came out with a diameter last summer which works for our radiator hoses. Tiny things, too. Here's another pic:
