__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Lots of clamps out there that are marketed as “stainless” unfortunately use only stainless steel bands, but not stainless steel screws. These type of clamps will result in RUSTY SCREWS as shown above.
Your are better off with the ALL stainless steel clamps (sold through Highway Stars) because the screw is also stainless and will not rust out.
“All stainless - 100% stainless” is the classification you’ll want because the screw is ALSO STAINLESS STEEL.
