pull hose off, slide crimp to end of hose, push hose on. Looks like a self adjusting hose clamp. not super strong but just enough to hold mig pressure.

cheers julian

you need to pinch the sides together with a pair of side cutters(as in hold the cutters in line with the hose and pinch the sides of the flat sections towards each other)....hope you can figure out what i mean
