The pliers that come with this kit work for ear clamps. They also work for ear bud clips, too.
It works, but it does not make sense for that purpose. With the tool, you simply twist it 90 degrees, and most clamps will free themselves. The torque feature is a must for getting the new clamp force correct with this tool. It works well.
Selected User Reviews For Lisle 30800 CV Boot Clamp Pliers
These pliers are a one-time purchase and will last a lifetime. You need to purchase this pair! It was dull, and the jaws were horrible, so I tried a lesser brand. You should not be fooled by I can attest to the legitimacy of Lisle's CV pliers. It has excellent jaw grind and the hammer is evenly distributed due to the balanced center. For this tool, you will have to pay a bit more, but it is definitely.
As long as you can get a good grip on it, this works quite well on Med and High Clips designed to handle light work. This unit is good if your hands are big enough & you don't have an issue with jinxes To put on, the clamps need to be strong enough or have light to medium duty clamps. It has been used by me several times for cv writing and other purposes Don't use the OTC 4722 Stinger Heavy-duty clamps, but use the 4722 Stinger Heavy-duty clamps For installing the boots on our Grand Cherokee and Jeep Grand Cherokee XL, we used this CV Boot Clamp Installer On our 3/4 drive shaft boots, we have boots that are 3/4 to P/U. Bringing the handles closer together by altering some of the napa handles slightly like the ones that are contoured to make them slightly closer together would greatly benefit the product. Other than that, it works pretty well for the purpose it was intended for.
With this tool, you will be able to install metal band style boot clamps on CV joints, steering racks, or drive shafts in a professional manner. Recently, I replaced the inner tie rod ends on the steering rack of my Ram 3500. My first step was to reposition the plastic bellows on the steering rack and secure them with plastic (zip) wire ties once the tie rods were installed. Despite the wire ties being tightly secured, I don't believe that the boot can be sealed enough to prevent moisture and dust from getting inside. I was also bothered by the amateurish look of the final product. In light of some reviews, I decided to get a professional tool and ordered the Lisle 30800 in addition to I was delighted with the results. This tool gives professional results and is easy to use. A great tool for your tool box that is worth $28.
My first use of it was to put clams on ties last weekend A pair of rod boot I really liked the way it worked out. As a result of the cam pivot point giving me leverage, I was able to operate the steering rack with one hand due to the limited space around the There were no issues with the outer bands, but the inner bands were very limited in This is a 2001 VW Golf ('01). In addition to doing only one thing well, it also offers a bunch of other features.
My drive shaft has a torque wrench, and I would have bought this years ago when I used pliers or a side cutter until I needed one that could be used with a torque wrench. Installing clamps is a snap with this tool. As far as the construction of this product is concerned, it is well done, and this is usually the case with all Lisle products. I've seen others that were really cheap in both design and quality.
For my Ram truck, I bought this tool to clamp the drive shaft boot. Even though autozone had the same item on their website, I chose to spend a little more money on Amazon so that I could get a tool that will last. Although the autozone item was cheaper,.
As far as boot clamps go, there are basically two varieties If you are buying these, make sure they are these. There is no need for any tools as the Toyota type can just be bent with pliers over the prongs.
I bought another pair for a low price and now I have to purchase This type of tool is one of those "buy once, cry once," which means the cheap one I bought was a complete waste. I'm sticking with the Lisle which will probably never be used.
