Anyone use the Gates heat shrink hose clamps?

i'm doing some coolant hose replacement. i am replacing the clamps where the leak is coming from but for the other hoses, is it ok to reuse those clamps? they are a mix of the spring style @Cruzerman posted and oem screw drive.

Double hoop, spring loaded, and spring hose clamps are good.

Typical worm drive hose clamps are the worst choice

Agreed. Wish I would've realized that years ago when I replaced all my coolant hoses. On the upside all the hoses seem to still be in good shape. Just need the clamps replaced.

@OSS I didn't know if you were responding to my question about reusing clamps. Were you?
