Here you go, not too keen on the twin eared ones, they seem to leak more.

LOL, you'll always need spare ones.  ;D

You can put a search in for Oetiker 167 o clips stepless, should get a hit. Just order the right size as they give you the size parameters in the description.

I think they're too small. It's not just the pole hose diameter, but also the expansion when you put on the male ez-snap or whatever. That'll add a couple more mm. You need 7-9mm, or 8-9.3. I've gone for the size in my first post. If there a tad to big I wrap a few rounds of insulating tape round then tighten up with the pinchers.

I find that I dont need any clips on the pole hose. All the pressure is on the main hose. Unless of course you have a cut off valve on it then I recon you will need clips.

These ones - http://gardinerpolesystems.co.uk/all-products/pump-hose/hose-fittings-adapters/hose-clamps-o-clips/o-clips/inner-ring-o-clip-hose-clamp-stainless-steel-8-2mm-9-5mm.html

When fitting them ensure you clamp them over the barb part of the fitting not the flat bit.
