Buying 2 at a time makes the shipping almost as much as the part. Nuttin Wong with buying 10 at a time like Keith.

They sell them in pairs, so I ordered several different sizes (2,4,6 is still less than 10 in my book ). I rather not have a box of 10 for every size I want...

Just to add: 

I ended up with 14 clamps of various sizes, per clamp cost for all of them was $2.83 per clamp *including* shipping.

I actually like constant pressure band hose clamps.  I used to hate them, until I bought a pair of pliers made specifically to deal with them.  THAT changed the game.   With the pliers, you can position the tabs any way you want, I done a few where the tabs are underneath and out of sight.

Worst part about them is the do dig a pattern into the underlying hose.  But again, with the pliers, its not a problem putting it on exactly as it came off.  Because more often than not, if its not perfectly seated, they tend to leak. 

Overall, I think they look the best short of the one time use pinch clamps, such as are commonly used on CV boots.

The RPMs were definitely climbing rapidly.   
It got me motivated to start working on my 390 again.
