Comments about Autocraft CV Boot Clamp Pliers:
These pliers are not shaped correctly and are made of very soft steel. I needed to close new VW CV Joint Boot clamps made of stainless steel. These pliers bent in my hands with hardly a any closure of the clamp. I finished the job by putting sheet metal boots (to prevent cutting the SS CV boot clamp) on my cutting pliers and closing the CV boot clamp with those. I returned these to the store. The counter person was happy to refund my money.
These might actually work if they were made of tool steel.

Comments about Autocraft CV Boot Clamp Pliers:
my biggest problem was finding band that it would use for cv boot. The one that came in kit I bought would not work.No instructions to tell you what different types it would work on. I know this seems simple but know one at stores I went to could really help me.All in all unless you just have to replace band on cv boot Id buy it ,but to re place boot I would buy a whole new set cv axle.

Q:
How do u use Cv boot clamp pliers by autocraftAsked on 9/25/2012 by Moe from Va.1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
Align a CV boot clamp in one of the boot clamp's 1/4-inch wide channels. The boot will have two channels, one for the large boot clamp and one for the small boot clamp. The channels, located near each end of the boot, provide a place for the clamp to tighten around the boot without causing the boot to crimp. Slide the boot clamp's nipple under the locking tab, the ear, and to the hole found on the tag end of the boot clamp. This will hold the clamp in place. The inner ear, found near the nipple, will slide into the outer ear, found near the hole, once the nipple has slipped into a hole. Spread the handles of the CV boot-clamp pliers completely. This will open the jaws. Place the boot-clamp pliers' jaws on each side of the outer ear. The angle-shaped jaws will grab the ear where it connects to the boot clamp's band, the part that encircles the boot. A metal bar, which connects to the pliers' hinge in between the jaws, will rest on the top-center of the ear. Squeeze the CV boot-clamp pliers' handles until the edges of the ear depress against the metal bar. When tight, the boot clamp's ear will look like a human's ear, with a raised rim around a depressed area. For any further assistance, please visit your nearest Advance Auto store or call us directly at 1-877-ADVANCE (238-2623) and one of our representatives there would be more than happy to assist you.Answered on 9/26/2012 by Vincent from AAP

VCV boots use this special type of clamp that folds over the boot. These pliers make it easier to squeeze the clamp.Answered on 9/2/2010 by Kevin from AAP
