Hose clamp removal

Years ago, before the dealership, I worked for a tire /auto service store. A customer came in with a diesel engine VW Rabbit. There were several small water hoses and most of them were saturated with oil. His plan was to replace them all. When he got to the one that was actually leaking and started all this he came to a complete stop. Clamps were wire loop and screw type. He had ruined the screw head.
I reached in with a diagonal wire plier and snipped the 2 wires and the clamp fell apart. Customer asked, "Now why couldn't I think of that ?" I answered with a question, "What do you do for a living ?" His reply, "I'm a C.P.A.". I said ,"Well there's your answer. I'm a mechanic".
I wont go into detail about how I defeat the clamp in your picture since you already defeated it. I will hint that the little finger that limits how far it will open is it's only defense.
