they get old and brittle...can crack if you crank too hard on the clamps.
Also, I prefer the volvo-type or gator-brand clamps...eschew the radiator clamps with holes/slots that the hose can creep through. The volvo or gator brand clamps have ridges that the worm grabs onto rather than through the clamp itself.
Of course if you really want to go upscale, there are one-time use shrink band clamps...you slip them on over the hose, install the hose, and use a heat gun to shrink the band. The band never loosens with continued heat/cold cycles of the system--the downside is the band must be replaced every time you remove the hose.
