Can't just use a rag on the outer jaw? I just use the pads generally but a rag on the jaw of a pair of pliers is what I use if I can't get enough leverage on the pad.

I just use a regular smallish C-clamp from the hardware store, and you can prevent the damage with some cardboard or whatever between the clamp and the painted part of the caliper.
