Just lost a full day's pay on a bad hose clamp in the Columbia River

Was running my 8-inch cutterhead near Astoria and a cheap clamp on the discharge hose blew. Cost me about $800 in downtime and repairs for a part that was maybe $15. Should have just bought the heavy-duty ones from the start. Anyone have a go-to brand for high-pressure fittings that actually hold up?

Honestly, how often does that really happen though?

Been there. Those cheap clamps are a total scam. Get the stainless ones from McMaster-Carr, they never let go.
