T-Bolt Clamps alright for Rad Hoses..??

Wonderin' if there is any reason that the T-bolt type clamps wouldn't be appropriate for radiator-hose use...?

Such as seen here: http://www.siliconeintakes.com/details.php?products_id=107&osCsid=381cd5f74dab8d64d2d84d6d02d25847

Semi's use them, but they use the better constant tension ones with the spring on the t-bolt. Even tension, no need to ever recheck. Just don't over tighten them....

Those will work fine but then so do good quality worm drive clamps, at much lower price.

They also make spring loaded constant tension worm drive clamps that elimate the need to retighten them as the hose contracts with temperature changes and age.

The main thing to get are high quaity clamps that dont allow the clamp to cut into the hose. It has an end that extends beyond the worm drive under the portion of the sloted part of the clamp. They are rated for use on silicone hose.
