About ABN CV Boot Clamp Pliers Tool for Ear-Type Clamp Crimping or Removal on VW, Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Honda, Mazda Vehicles

​




​
Crimp and flatten ear-type constant velocity joint boot clamps with the ABN CV Boot Clamp Pliers Tool.

A Closer Look

Straight Crimp
This specialty tool is a straight crimp pliers meaning that the jaws are in-line. It offers a perfect crimp on clamp ears to prevent leakage.

Easy to Use
To use, simply crimp the loop and then push down on the crimp to lock into place. The 1/2" square holes allow you to use two 1/2" socket wrenches with extensions if you need the extra leverage or are working in a hard to access area (long tool length means you need access for the crimper).

Versatile
Constructed from steel with comfort grip handles, this tool can be used on all ear-type clamps including late model GM FWD outboard CV joints, with a 1/2" torque wrench (required for stainless steel band), and on VW, Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Honda, and Mazda vehicles.

Very poor quality

Very poor quality
This tool bent under the pressure of my hands and failed to properly crimp/ pinch the clamps.I usually buy the best tool available. But this time I thought, "this is a one time job and I should try to save a couple bucks." Now I need to replace all the clamps and clean up a huge a mess from grease thrown all over the brake calipers, lower control arms and wheel wells. Definitely did NOT save a couple bucks.BUY A BETTER TOOL. THIS IS CHEAP GARBAGE.In the photo: The jaws should be parallel. I didn't notice they'd bent until too late. I bent it back to parallel but it immediately bent back as soon as I tried to crimp/ pinch a clamp.

These seem to be made pretty well and don't see them failing for quite a while even with frequent use. I used them on an Acura RDX but could only use it on outside boots. If your work is not out in the open there is no way to get a proper fix onto the crimp portion of the band. Unfortunately you'll need to buy the side crimping tool also for cramped quarters.

I don't know if this would stand up to every day usage, but for the couple I'm going to do in my lifetime, it's a good deal for me for $10. It worked on a relatively small clamp and I've got no complaints.

Tool is not tempered and bends under moderate force. Absolutely useless! I purchased the tool to crimp the CV boots on my Audi. Crimped to max and thought the bands were well seated- not so. Both clamps were loose and fell off. Had to remove axle and reseat crimp bands using old fashioned end cut pliers.

5.0 out of 5 stars This tool crimps the CV boot ties tight and is the easiest design I’ve ever used!
Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2021

This CV boot tie crimper is absolutely outstanding. It connects to both sides of the tie strap tightening “bump”. However, it not only crimps the bump, but at the same time it flattens the bump and you’re done. I have a Porsche Boxster and there was a very small space to get the tie/strap installed. This tool made the job easy and done right. I highly recommend it!

Took several attempts to get it to work. Most likely due to inexperience but was also clumsy due to it's size and how constricting your work space maybe. It got the job done.

5.0 out of 5 stars Makes it easy
Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2018
Verified Purchase
After destroying a tool bought at NAPA trying to get my new CV boot clamps installed, I ordered this tool. The ability to connect breaker bars to it made it very simple and easy to install the new clamps in seconds and the tool didn't show any signs of stress after installing the 8 clamps I needed to. It was a bit cumbersome, so I had my brother hold the clamp in place while I tightened it. Would definitely recommend, way better than trying to get those weird clamps on with pliers.
