It looks real useful.  Notice the big gap between the clamper and the clampee...

They were designed specifically for silicone hose whereas a Jubilee clamp will actually cut into the hose. I see them all the time on tour buses & new semi's.

"Never a drip with a Jubilee clip"! Old British race mechanic saying.

These look pretty neat, might try them on my water piping.

thank you Jessechop, nice spring-loading action, too bad though, i thought someone had finally dumped the old unreliable mechanism for something a lil more slick ;={{

The main reasons that that style mechanism fails is either it's a poorly designed offshore copy or more often, it's been way over tightened at some point in its life.
