What do you call the fastener that's like a metal zip tie with a screw?

Question

I assure you that this is not the beginning of a fastener-related standup routine.

While working out at the gym, I saw a fastener that looks like a metal zip tie, with a screw to tighten it. Two pictures below. This can be useful for me in some of my projects. Any idea what it's called and where I can buy it?

It's a hose clamp. Any hardware or automotive store carries them in the US.

Another common name for this type hose clamp is "gear clamp". They come in a variety of sizes to accommodate various hose diameters.

In the US, they are called 'hose clamps', though if you goto an automotive parts store, they will likely call them 'radiator clamps' as that was their primary use in automotive work, fastening the hoses to the radiator.

It's called "abrazadera" in Argentina. It's a valid answer, just for the more you know.

In professional residential environments, I always heard these called a "duct clamp" or "duct cinch." But I always see them labeled (in US Home Depot) as hose clamps, as the other answers have stated. I think the former terms are more like slang
