What kind of valve is this exactly? Never seen that exact connection type (lemmy.ml)

I'm pretty new to this. I was considering replacing it with something else because it leaks slightly from the valve if it gets moved around at all, but I don't know what this connection is to start with. It goes to a dishwasher.

They're usually just called "crimp rings" or "cinch clamps", the former being the more popular term in my experience. They do require a specific crimping tool, but if you go to your local home improvement store they usually sell a kit that includes the tool with rings, and possibly even a PEX cutter.
