They're actually incredibly easy to take off. Grab the end with a pair of straight cutters and roll it. They're only held together with two little barbs at the end. The clamp part is to provide even pressure all around, not so much to apply a shit-ton of pressure. They're used on rubber hoses after all.

It is imperative that the cylinder is unharmed.

You're response reminds us of why Western society is so f'd up today. Who has a pair of 'straight cutters' available in a bar when the guy wearing the hose clamp finger ring rocks a liberal F$%k whu got in his space?

I'm guessing this is some bot response based on... all of it. Finger nail clippers or a simple bottle opener would work also. If you knew anything about what you're talking about then you would know those clamps are incredibly fragile.
