It's a good thing that the banding tool works. An error occurred in the handle of the cutter Handle was on the wrong side (needed to loosen the set screw, and flip the handle 180 degrees in the hole, so that the handle wouldn't be against the CV joint), but it wasn't difficult to fix. It is essentially a matter of sliding the band between the cutter blade and the main body, and through the hole in the As the band tightens, turn the anvil to tighten it again and fold the tool over so that the cutter is forward to cut it. A couple taps with the hammer and drift will do I once A quick tip is to retrieve the anvil from the tool before trying to unwind the band in order to remove the remainder of I found that the little red cap on the anvil handle slid off when I first used it, and it would subsequently not stay put, so I needed to pull it out when I found some bolt end protectors at a hardware store that fit much tighter, and they were the solution to my.
As long as the tool is used as described, it works flawlessly. Place the cutting end on the band so that the band has a full bend back. It is imperative to run the band through a slot in the Reversed band and side tabs can be hammered down with a hammer or chisel. Make sure the band tail does not spin forward as well. Make sure you wipe the lube off the boot ends and axle grooves of the boots after applying the band.
The tool is cheaply made, but it does the job. For someone who uses the tool on weekends, this is a perfect tool, but for someone who is in the business, there are better, more powerful tools. Inevitably, it does what it says on the tin. While the cutting parts are not particularly sharp, they are still very effective.
I found the instructions to be a little vague on the Find out how to use it by doing a web search. Overall, there was no issue with this tool, but just make sure you use it properly if you only have one clamp and can't risk ruining.
Overtightening is not a good idea. There are little handles that fall out as soon as you attempt to use However, it cuts the bands very well and to the right length, and it lets you really tighten them up. You just want to make sure that it isn't too tight, as I broke two bands before I figured it out.
I really like the tool. As expected, there was a loose lever on the cutting arm, but you can fix it with an Allen wrench as the lever is held in place by a set screw. In all other respects, there were no problems.
I used it to do the boots on one of my quads it performed well. It is not a heavy duty tool, but for someone like me who only needs it occasionally it is appropriate, and it was a good price.
As for the tool, it actually works as it's supposed to. The only problem I had was that the band cutting key, which is removable, was bent completely and snapped suddenly when I tried to cut the This problem was solved by taking an old Alan key and modifying it on one end. This made the key both stronger and about an inch longer, making it easier to cut the bands. The rest of it, I approve of and am glad to add to my toolbox.
