Will a hose clamp unbalance the shaft?
Some people claim that the weight of the screw part of a hose clamp will rotationally unbalance the shaft. I don't know if that is true or not but if you are at all concerned, just use two short hose clamps arranged such that the screw assemblies are on opposite sides so the weight balances. Perhaps overkill, I toss the idea out for whatever usefulness it may have.
