You just packed them with C-4 when needed and set them up. I believe that they were designed for explosive dearming of devices/ordnance with minimum collateral damage.

As I recall, most EOD units had devices such as you are talking about. As LEO EOD people we always wore big pockets whenever we visited our local EOD team, so we had some of these devices as well. We tried them on pipe bombs to knock off end caps, but soon gave up on this as they usually either detonated or were converted into a rocket.
We had better luck with Det cord on pipes, althogh sometimes they were detonated as well. We also used remote end cap removal, with pipe wrenches and ropes, but one had to spend a lot of time close to the device to set it up. (Fine if not on a hidden timer.)
We found the best method was the water disrupter with a metal slug set up at the right angle to the cap.
