He probably means they can be a bastard to squeeze when trying to remove and install as they squirm around when you squeeze them with a pair of flat face pliers.

They're called Corbin Spring Hose Clamps, sometimes the'yre on ebay, rarespares have them listed in their online cattledog https://rsp-secure.com/rarespares/ - Browse by type - GM - Holden - FE FC - heater and engine bay - scroll down
The only reason for time is so everything dosen't happen at once.
