Yes indeed, I have that tool and several variations of reverse pliers, got mine from the Cornwell tool man. I also frequently use an 18 inch hemorrhoid pick and also a prybar-type tool with a fork in the end designed for removing plastic push-in fasteners. The fork allows me to get behind the hose end while gripping the device with the other hand and push the hose off with my thumb on the square shank of the tool. That's the best way I have found to remove hoses from plastic hose barbs on plastic devices without breaking or twisting the hose barb off. Especially on antique plastic!
