those look kind of like the Harbor Freight ones. If the quality is similar, they aren't too bad. Not great, but they'll do the job. I wouldn't trust them on anything too important though.

I had one work loose on me, but it took a year or two to do so (vacuum line inside an engine). I just replaced it with a new one from my HF box, and so far it's been good.

The ones you found are like half the price of HF.

Are they "all stainless" or is just the band part stainless with a zinc screw? If they are all stainless that would be good. I don't buy them anymore unless the screw is stainless as well. If it rusts, you can't undo the clamp.

I only use Norma or Wurth, no point in putting a 10 cent clamp on a $50 hose.

Generally I don't buy any new ones, just toss the old ones from parting cars into a bucket and run them through the parts washer when I have a batch and then sort out sizes.

^^^This. While I understand guys saving money, hose clamps are one of those things I won't cheap out on. It's just not worth the hassle IMHO.
