I elected not to, since it appeared to me that the clamp itself was 
unable to exert enough pressure on the hose to make a leak-proof 
connection. I suppose I could have tried crimping the clamp some more, 
but I'd rather just use a worm drive clamp that I know can exert enough 
force to make a good connection. Plus, with a metal QD I don't have to 
worry about applying too much force and cracking a plastic QD.
