That’s true... The rubber band sort from bunnings. You’re right, there are probably better ones!

try and find one with the seat belt material, the rubber ones are good for putting on things like oil filters but shithouse at removing them..they stretch too much
you can try the old ratchet strap trick, the cheap thin narrow ones work best, just use the long strap not the ratchet end!..wet it a little and start wrapping, then use the hook as a purchase to turn it in the desired direction

Hurts. Requires Money. And is nerdy.
Soft hammer and tap around the colar, the light shocks help loosen seized threads.

ive so far resisted anything that might leave a mark, soft taps didn’t do anything...

Heat it up and spray it with penetrating fluid and repeat a few times, I use one of those burners on a soldering iron kit, just make sure you don't get it that hot that it melts the rubber seals.
That's what I've done before but with an old rubber tube, got to be really careful you don't bite into the collar with the grips through the rubber.

Is a real bear
Just to be clear of the issue, is the seatpost stuck in the seat tube? As that appears to be what you are implying.

OK yeah whats the problem getting it out of the frame or pulling the actual thing apart for a service ??
That's one to put in the book.
The reason I said about the turning bit was that on my seatpost it was such a neat fit I couldnt tell but I needed to turn the male part when I looked on line and i used a hose clamp as I had no strap wrench.
