Yes, it's EXPENSIVE! If you work with flat spring clamps on a regular basis, you know what PIAs are and how they slip off the pliers or get out of the way. If you've EVER struggled with compact pimples and thought someone broke a spring clip (no, they do), you probably want to get this. Ratchet adjustment for easy assembly. Pivoting ends on the jaws so you can rock it without getting caught in the clip. The inner sponge is smooth and should grip the hose without damage so you can release it. I haven't tried yet.
