Getting ready to change all the belts ( 3 alt&w.p. p.s. a.c. not timeing) and hoses 7 total. What is a good brand of hose clamps and where to buy them ? Not looking for any made in china. For my 2004 Tacoma SR5 V6 4WD TRD with 28780. Miles it's now 10 years old w/t less than 30000 miles.Thanks

Theres nothing wrong with reusing the original factory clamps if they are not rusted or sprung.
I personally prefer the OEM spring type clamps over screw type clamps.

Screw clamps often require a retightening after awhile to keep snug.

The factory spring clamps just keep on doing their job.

If you are set on getting new clamps, look for ones that say ALL Stainless Steel.

For what it's worth, I replaced hoses and clamps after a Timing belt, water pump kit rebuild. I used new stainless screw clamps. Two months after the rebuild, heading out on vacation, the bottom radiator hose came off due to clamp failure. I'll spare you the gory details but it was a $2500 result. The clamp did not fail at the screw, rather it look like it had been sliced at an angle with shears. Needless to say, I don't use screw clamps for anything serious under the hood. Personally, I would stick to the stock clamps.

OEM clamps only, no worm drive for me personally.
