Hose clamp removal

Did you know they make a clamp tool with a 18 inch swivel cable that has a pliers on one end. It clamps and locks so you can reach down and easily remove the clamp with your hand Leave the tool on the clamp for reinstall. Easy Peasy. If you need a pic of the tool I can get you one. The easist a best clamp ever made .Never needs retightening and they do not seep

From my original post:
Plus, I'm too cheap to go to one of the box stores and pay at least $30 for the proper cable-style pliers to remove them the right way.

Yeah, I know they make them, but I didn't want to spend the money. I've already thrown enough money at this damn truck. Thanks for the suggestion, though.
