Get 2 pairs of pliers one on each ear and twist it opposite directions and it will break

I had a handful of hose today and I 'yarked' it to move the last bit of hose from a customer's path so I could shut the gate and the end of the hose flew up in the air, the bit with the rectus fitting and jubillee clip, and whacked me right on the top of me 'ead.

It ruddy knacked me!!!

I'm sure an O ring would've been less heavy, therefore carried less kinetic energy, and wouldn't have hurt as much.

There's a good reason.

I do use jubilee clips, don't buy them from screwfix though they are rubbish, halfords ones are good.

and yes just twist and they break with pliers ;)
