tighten em down witha wrench instead of a screw driver, or place some tach welds where the pies connect to keep the connectors on. and if that dont work , get a rope.

flare the ends out with vise grips or weld a bead on them. It is also important that the pipes line up good so the couplers arent bent all retarded...this is assuming we are talking about ic pipes and not rad. hoses

Back in da day we would rough em up a little with 100 grit sand paper where the clamp goes. (if they are polished that is)

Stop using homedepot couplers and use silicone w/t-clamps. :P

it was actually a silicone one that blew on me....i am good with the thick and heavy duty home depot couplers.

either flare the ends of the pipes or weld a bead around the end. t clamps don't hurt either.
