I have used Vice-grips(R) as a hose clamp by putting a couple of pieces of vinyl tubing on the jaws to pad them. Use 1/2 inch tubing, cut the pieces about an inch long and slit them lengthwise, then push them over the jaws.
Another option is to plug the hose rather than clamp it. Depending on the size of the hose, you may be able to find a Phillips screwdriver that fits into the hose, then tighten the hose clamp.
