I start with the wrench just barely in the vice and the large channel locks. Get the wrench bent into a C shape
Then I use the small channellocks to work the C into an O.
To finish it up I put the wrench around a pipe and the put a hose clamp around the outside and SQUEEZE. it's not really that hard.

Voila
