best way to remove hose clamps?

2 types,

 

the twist ones where, it twists a thin sheet tighter and tighter

 

and the other where its 3 little prongs that you push together with pliers making the gap bigger.

 

In both cases i can get to them but not do what i want too, whats the best way to remove them.

 

Im considering burning the rubber hoses and buying some new ones

 

Also what are those twist tight ones called that use a small worm to tighten. Also look a bit like cable ties but metal and bigger

Jubille clips. So called because they were invented in 1977 by Carry On actor Jim Dale to celebrate the Queens Silver Jubilee, that's why they are always silver in colour.

Not sure about the first one, but you need to get a pair of pliers on the second ones and squeeze the prongs together.

 

 

 

(Have you tried a bigger set of pliers and attack from the side?)

The best way to get rid of those spring loaded 3 prong ones is dynamite, or semtex or some kind of termonuclear warhead. Hateful things. Throw them all in the bin and replace with mikalor clamps

Artery forceps are a handy tool. You can buy them from most fishing shops. I used to use them for removing hooks from the mouth of pike as you don't want to put your hands in their.
