Of course Mercedes specifically forbids use of any other style clamps. CLIC clamps are replaced with new ones every time, too.

CLIC clamps provide the specified tightness--who knows what you're doing with screw-type clamps, and of course both too loose and too tight are problems.

Do you slide by without a torque wrench on nut/bolt fasteners, too?
