Anybody ever use these leg bands before?

I have used them but they were larger so you could just slide them apart very easy to put on. Nowadays i just use numbered zip ties they are easy to size and cut off. I have never had a problem with them but i do place them rather loose and none have come accidentally off.
 
Has anyone had any experience with these? I really need to use something with numbers to keep my records and my babies straight, and these seemed great, but I cannot figure out how I would get them off without hurting the chick's leg. They are easy to close using a needle nose pliers, but once closed I cannot get them open again and they are quite small so they will outgrow them fairly soon. Is there some trick that I do not know about? Luckily I have not put any on any chicks yet!
Ive used them and they either fail and fall off which sux if you have them in a large pen with other birds or they are hard as heck to remove because after a while the plastic becomes hard and brittle due the weather. I would use that and some other id such as a wing band just in case of an equipment malfunction. Gerald Barker
