Description of ๐Ÿ”ง Efficient CV Joint Banding Tool with Cutter - OTC 4623

Ideal tool for use when installing and tightening the 'band-it' or strap style clamps found on CV joint boots, steering gear boots, or hoses. Once installed into the tool, tighten the band by turning the handle on the tool; use a socket or wrench on the handle to torque the band to OE specifications. When the boot clamp has been tightened to specs cut the band to the correct length by flipping the lever (at the front of the tool) forward. Crafted from high-grade materials to ensure quality performance over the lifetime of the tool.

Excellent Results: Tools and Equipment

Very easy to use. It does exactly what it's supposed to and the results look professional. Good quality. The knife handle fell off on the fourth use. Simply insert the set screw and tighten.

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Volume

Simple and effective

Amazing tool! I tried swapping out a few CV joints and tightened and cut the bands with pliers, a vice and wire cutters. Pain in the butt and I still can't get them on perfectly. This tool tightens the ligaments and is very easy to use. I wasn't sure how well the clipped portion of this tool would work, but so far it's perfect and very easy to use. Highly recommended!

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Only available in black

Excellent quality. Easy to use

I had no idea how to use this tool when I bought it but knew I needed it to fit new Norris McQuay shoes to axles I was repairing . The instructions are simple and easy to follow. I'm a fan of OTC tools and their quality. I look forward to buying from OTC knowing it will be of high quality. I have bought 3 other OTC tools since I bought this tool.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Big and chunky

Ideal for low profile clamps that simply fold over and secure with tabs.

the ones that were on the old CV articulated shoe stuck out a lot and eventually fell off. This is on a small Polaris Ranger 4x4 that has very little space in the hubs. Instead of repeating standard ratchet clamps, I bought simple low profile straps and this tool. This tool is easy to use, simply thread the end through the tool, twist the handle to tighten, bend and trim the excess. Just make sure when cutting that you trim the free end so that it protrudes slightly past the tabs holding it inโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Will write later

Good trunk strapping tool

I purchased a trunk strapping tool to install new boots on my Acura Legend's OEM driver side axle and a new passenger side OEM axle that was not fully assembled. After struggling with axle vibration at the parts store, I decided this was the way to go. After watching a video on how to use the tool, I was quickly able to use it. The first group went well. I pulled the tape as tight as I could with my hand. I then fed the ribbon through the slot in the front of the tool and cutter and insertedโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Reliability
