Any suggestions?

It's one time use, cut it and replace with a regular clamp

Easiest way (for me anyway) is to dremel the top across...pops right off.

ski ya later

do you guys use diagonal cutters for that or something else??

Screw driver route, but its supposed to be a one time use.

Irrigation houses (Sprinklers for golf courses and landscapers, have similar clamps and the pinch tool for them.

~$8-15

"10" Endnipper Pliers"

Home Depot may have 'em too. In the Toro section of the Plumbing isle.
