      It's all about the angle of the dangle.

      I use these pliers for spring hose clamps, and they work pisser:

        When I tried to get my hose clamps off to change the radiator it had the same clamps. No matter what tool I used I couldn't get the clamp to open enough. So instead of clamping them like your supposed to I took two vise grips 1 on each little ear and spread them apart , worked like a charm. And then of course there is the dremel route.
