Review on 🔧 Optimized Search: GEARWRENCH CV Joint Boot Clamp Tightener Wrench - Model 3191D by Josh Sharp

This worked great for the dual bands that came with my 1994 GKN Civic constant velocity joints. I don't think they could have been installed without this tool. Two things I didn't realize at first: 1. When tightening the band, the nose of the tool is against the retaining ring, meaning you're pulling the band up at an angle of about 30 degrees. At first I was afraid that the strap or collar would break if I didn't straighten it. But apparently the tool is designed to work and there have been no problems. When tightened enough, lift the tool 90 degrees and the band will remain taut as you squeeze the ring to secure it in place. 2. The serrated taping cylinder is intentionally left loose in the tool. This is done so you can put the cylinder on and off without fully threading it. Especially important after tightening, when the tape is bent after being wound on the cylinder. It would be difficult to push through to remove. This is a feature, not a disadvantage.
