I put the hose clamp on but wasn’t a fan. I got the Maggard version. It has a little plastic cover over the hose clamp to help protect from a grinder or screwdriver pry attack. It’s expensive compared to a hose clamp for sure, but I live in a city where that is rampant. Hopefully this will help.

Cut the head off the bolt of the hose clamp with a Dremel disc after installing it so the flat screw driver can not be used to remove it. It can be removed but you just made it 3 times harder and longer time is required to remove it.
