I usually use channel lock pliers and squeeze it back together. Just grasp the 2 round pegs on either side and squeeze till it is closed.

Ok I found it if you search "long click clamp" on eBay you will find it for about $20. You could check harbor freight too.

It has rotating head with each head has uneven ends one large and one small. If I remember correctly you need to align those rotating heads such that on one side you use larger portion and on other side you use smaller part.
