I've always used channel lock to get those flat spring clamps off but they can be a real PITA depending on what way they are rotated. THERE you go ..... DEPENDING where they are rotated ! And on this task .. that gives THAT TERM new meaning. The shop that changed the rad before MUST HAVE HAD that tool. I think I mentioned this before- I had to pull the rad WITH the lower hose attached. I know I should have cut the hose ..., AND YEAH I wound up buying a new lower hose because it had swelled a bit . LEADING ALL TO THIS ..... I found on eBay bid on and bought one of those cable pliers..... $ 9.50 .... delivered to my door .... HERES the search wording.....

Hose clamps are like mini bulbs.Cheaper in a 10 pack.Usually I can but 10 for close to the price of the 2 packs.They are considered commercial and cheaper.Rocky

anytime i need bulbs or clamps, i do the same. it's only a buck or buck & change difference. however, i haven't needed to buy any for quite some time. Well oleHam2 .... all AZ had was a 2 pack ! AND being perfect honest .... with all considered ....I'm going to stick with these newer model clamps .... as long as I have the proper tool !

Some Autozone store managers are pissy about selling contractor packs of hose clamps and bulbs to non-commercial accounts. I've had one literally tell me that I'm not supposed to be able to buy them that way. Since I had brought in the empty box to show them the part number, she complained but sold them to me since it was obvious I had already bought them that way. Besides that, they make more money on the two pack versions is why they pimp them. I've got two buddies that are AZ store managers and they have no problem selling me the bulk items.
