Oh, I agree 100%. I guess I was missing your point.

I replaced my DC 3300 clamps with part number 5322K39 from McMaster Carr (mcmaster.com). They're only $2.81 apiece, but you must pay shipping. I considered buying a bunch and eBaying them to guys like you

but reconsidered.

FWIW, these are "quick opening" humongous hose clamps. They're not quite as user friendly to install as the SS clamp, but will NOT let go.

Why do you say they are not user friendly?

I don't find them quite quite as easy to put on as the factory clamp. I think because the are heavier they slip down more easily and cause me to drop the bag.

Once tightened though, that bag ain't coming out in one piece.

My son took my strap to work and riveted it for me. Better than new!
