HELP! Where can I buy plastic hose clamps?

[WillWorkForFish]

I've been all over looking for the little plastic hose clamps, that have the teeth, that you just squeeze together and they lock in place.. and to open them you just slide them apart..
Ive been to walmart, home depot, lowes, local hardware stores, advanced auto parts.. WHERE CAN I FIND THEM?!!

home depot has them you just have to find them like every other small item. www.marinedepot.com has them as well, under plumbing parts.

have you personally bought them at home depot? because i searched every section as well as asked just about every departments help in finding them and no success.. same with lowes.. I'd like them tomorrow, or tonight actually.. don't really want to wait on shipping..

I have been looking for them lately too. I have to say that both Lowes and Home Depot don't stock them in this area. My next stop is Ace.

i have seen them there. but i dont use them, so no need from me to buy them. they are white plastic. i think they were in the appliance parts department, maybe hardware. they may not stock them in your area, dont know. may want to check the LFS. ACE or another non-chain hardware store would be a good place also.

You can find a lot of things we use [all plastic, no metal] in, of all things, the LAWN SPRINKLER SYSTEM section of the mega-hardware places. That's one place where plastic fittings are called for.

auto parts store. lots of cars now use clamps like that.

I was looking for them also when I was finishing up my tank plumbing and I failed to locate them at the local Ace Hardware, Home Depot, Kmart, Walmart, and Lowes. I ended up going to the nearest fish store and bought some. I didn't want to order through Marine Depot just because I wasn't too sure what the sizes I needed were.

why dont you use zip ties

I bought some off ebay. The ones I got are a lot thinner then the ones I get from F&S and MD. In fact, one broke when I was putting on my return pump.

I tried zip ties first, but just could not get them snug enough.

I just get mine from F&S or MD
