Those stainless steel clamps usually have non-stainless screws for some reason. I bought a bunch thinking I was smart untill all the screws started to rust.

oops i forgot to mention you have to ask for the ones with SS screws.. i have made that mistake before as well.
The reason they use the carbon steel screws is SS screws dont last very long and they strip easily.

Stainless
Stainless is called 'stain LESS' because it stains(rusts) less than regular steel. Stainless will still rust, especially the grade used on hose clamps. I second the motion for zip ties or plastic hose clamps.
