I've not used them, tho I do have several in my stash.
A friend has them on his air hoses and they seem to work ok .

I have used them on plenty of return lines , nothing with large pressure . I know someone is going to ask what is large pressure . 5 psi is my go to over that no barb fitting . Calculate total force and it may help decide
They’re standard practice in most (if not all) diesel lift pump kits. (Filter module plus pressure supply (fuel pump to alleviate strain on the gear driven injection pumps).
While I don’t have experience in high pressure applications with them- they’re dead reliable and there’s millions of miles that have gone through them in these applications.. your hose will fail before these if they’re quality fittings.
What is your intended purpose?

We used barbed fittings for water and current in the induction units.
Parker hose and fittings require no clamps at the 100 psi water pressure. Signs of clamping violates the warranty.

For high pressure applications (100 PSI) it depends on whether the hose was designed for it or not.
Back in the 70s, when nail guns were becoming popular, we bought some hoses with that type of fitting, 3'8" no clamp. They worked fine.
We also bought hoses that had the crimped ferrule fittings. If the crimped ferrule fitting was replaced by the barb type, they would blow apart fairly quickly. Air @ 100PSI.

In the long lost time way back in 2008 I was working industrial maintenance. We had started using the parker system all over the building. I don't recall what machine it was but the OEM had used parker barb fittings and hose. The hose was showing wear and one of the maintenance technicians replaced the hose (proper parker hose) but put a hose clamp on it. Long story short the hose developed a tear and came off and ended up injuring the operator somehow. There was a huge kerfuffle about how the hose could have come loose like that being new. A lawsuit was filed the whole nine yards, at the end the company was found liable for the failure because the tech had used a non-approved hose clamp that was completely unnecessary.
I knew this guy pretty well, he was probably mid-40s at the time and had zero intention on learning anything new. We were using pex to plumb in the new bathrooms and every single day he would go on multiple hour rants about how it was going to all need replaced in a year with "that new plastic ********"

I have used those fittings for years on air hose Up to 180psi. It takes special hose, so don’t just slap them in any old air Hose. They work fine. I have also used them on fuel hose up to 60psi without issue.

If you use the right fitting with the right hose they work just fine

with the proper hose. The hose brand and model must match the fitting.
We used them by the truck load in the factory I worked at for air lines and air whips with no issue until some idiots would put other types of hose on them.
they did not come with paperwork, and the specs /instructions in the link above do not say anything about what the proper hose is. What I have is rubber with a single weave reinforced 3/8” hose, 200 or 300 PSI, the fittings are
only good for 150. My air does not go above 120PSI. So far they are working as well or better as the Kiutch crimped swivel.

IH used them on oil pressure lines years ago, I've used them on shop air lines for 30+ years.

Another industrial user here. Slowly transitioning all of our compressed air hoses to them. I buy 250' at a time of Eaton Easy Couple or Milton Push-Lock and fittings to match depending on stock and price.
