Remember - only work on your cooling system with the car cold (obviously).

Spring clamps can get weak but usually it's the rubber that gets worn causing less clamping force. But yes you can get it tighter with a worm screw clamp. Just do not over tighten otherwise months later you end up with a cut hose. Good idea to use a spring style 1/4 drive screw driver when tightening a worm style, this will prevent over tightening.
