This came up in an email (and I used one this weekend to repair the end of a garden hose). Oetiker clamps are one time use hose clamps that are cinched on to secure hoses or rubber seals. I discovered them when my mechanic forgot to cinch one up on the Griso.
The grip with a better distribution of pressure than your typical hose clamp but they are NOT reusable and to take them off they have to be cut off. So they won't replace all hose clamp applications. But they can't loosen either!
