need4speed Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Who make the best? Seems pretty immaterial but over the years I've come across some that are horrible and feel very rough/course, while others are like butter. Just wondered if there was a favoured/superior type, or is it just pot luck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Controversially: Jubilee make pretty good Jubilee clips. Norma and Mikalor are also good names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
need4speed Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 Controversially: Jubilee make pretty good Jubilee clips. Norma and Mikalor are also good names. Funnily enough John it's only just in the last 10 minutes I discovered Jubilee was an actual brand! Always just thought it was a generic term...

qwakers Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 i buy all my pipe and fixings from http://www.hydroscand.co.uk/ they dont sell carp and are usually cheaper than anywhere else (or at least they are now i've spent a fortune with them....)

mmgemini Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 There's never a drip through a genuine Jubilee clip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffR Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I like both Mikalor and Jubilee, cheap clips either rust (they must buy their stainless from Britpart) or simply will not tighten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris113 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Another +1 for Jubilee here. On the other hand I would not recommend Halfords clips, they seem to strip the threads on the band far too easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zim Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Mikalor are beefier than jubilee in my opinion. Depends on application I guess, both are good. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneandtwo Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 JCS are far better than mikalor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
need4speed Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 I must admit those JCS clips look very well made indeed. All 18/8 marine grade stainless too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonr Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I ended up (at X-Eng) using Zero-Clips from Birmingham. Their stainless clips are astonishingly good value and very high quality - certainly give Jubilee a run for their money! Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cackshifter Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Jcs hi torque are really good,don't know about their cheaper range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Genuine jubilee ones are my favourite... nice supply of them at work The bolt type mikalor ones are also good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyw Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Terry hose clips are very robust too. Not sure if they do stainless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
