Just curious as to which of these clips everyone prefers. I still haven't got the knack of using O rings, so for time being I use jubilee clips or cable ties.

Yes had them on my brush hoses for two years now without any probs.

O rings are the little rubber rings they have on Hozelock male connectors.
I know what your on about though, those little steel bands, I tried them but don't you need special pliers to make them tight?
There are a lot of rubbish jubilee clips about, I prefer the stainless steel ones you can buy from ebay chandlers.

Yes theyre called O CLIPS I think.

I use cable ties on my 1/2" barbed elbows for all the van pipework. Never leaked one drop & never blown off or anything.

jubilee clips,reuse them again and i put a bit of superglue on the barb and slid the hose over

Was going to post exact same question myself tonight 

Link above to O Clips .... wondering what people have found to be the best when it comes to curing annoying drips / leaks ..... seem to spend a lot of time fixing this or sorting that on my system ... nothing major just little things but they annoy me .... just want a watertight system or is that just the way it is with wfp

jubilee clips on 1/2 " reinforced hose on system, oitker ( o rings on end of micro, and pole hose.

jubilee clips every time!i find them a tighter fit and eliminate drips and leaks esp if you put a bit of black insulation tape underneath them round the hose then tighten as much as you can!

Jubilee clips everytime. And a good few turns of PTFE Tape on threads does help also to stop the drips 

[CLEANCARE WC]

They are also called dog ear clips i believe

[Poles R Us]

Jubilee clips

O ring clips especially if they are going to come into contact with hands.

I still cant manage to put the O clips on right. Any tips?

[SherwoodCleaningSe]

Buy a pair of O ring pliers

[Klean07]

I'll try the £1 shop on Sunday cheers.

[Frankybadboy]

Buy a pair of O ring pliers

or tile cutters are the same.

Frank clips his hose with an elastic band, this is a true storey as he cant afford o clips or jublie clips.
Mind you he is a traveller, lives in a caravan on a piece of dump land up by Queen Charlton!
