I used a cheap dremel type rotary tool which only cost £15 from halfords and came with a load of attachments. It's labelled as a craft tool set but it managed to cut through the metal band on my top hose. Took about 2 minutes with taking care not to damage the actual hose itself.

The small grinding wheels should get through it eventually.
It's a stainless steel band so quite tuff, but as Chris says with the "right tool," like butter
