So, they're 6x the price of a worm-screw clamp, don't appear to have any rating on clamping force (which is important when you're doing things like using SAE hose on metric cars), require a heat-gun to install (hello, melted fan shroud), require a special tool to remove (which I'm certain you won't have forgotten when you need to change a hose trackside), and are not reusable.
Sounds like a winner to me.
Seriously, you can get some really nice mechanical clamps for that price. The ones Bell uses on their radiator hoses are practically T-bolts. No special tools, no melting anything, reusable, and strong enough to hold a dolphin to a stripper pole.
