FEBRYTOLD 12 Pcs CV Boot Clamp, 6 Pcs Small and 6 Pcs Large Stainless Steel Universal Adjustable Stainless Steel Drive Shaft CV Boot Clamp

Didn’t expect much except for them to work but these axle boot clamps are super thick and tough. Used the toyota crimping tool to close it up easy. Warning though, the first one I tried closing up all the way and it broke open(my fault). So this not like an oem clamp where the inside of the clamping notch closes until touching, maybe halfway until touching and you’ll see it’s tight enough imho… God bless fellow diy’ers!

Perfect performance - auto dealer parts house stated that this would not work. Yes, and better than the product and cost from them. Go for it and do not waste your time there. I would purchase again. In fact I installed these myself (DIY home mechanic) and still providing excellent service. I should provide photos but I can always update and provide. We need good quality and decent prices sometimes and I thank all who have helped during my research.

Seems on par with OEM oetiker ear clamps, hard to find the size needed for my CV outer boot. Tried different brands (far right on pic), easily snapped off. These clamps are on par with the OEM clamps, pretty heavy duty and similar thickness. Only downside is what's mentioned in other reviews, teeth are pointing inward while OEM points outward (IMHO latter is better design). Pricewise, it's fair. I would pay a little more for these higher quality clamps than other brands listed. Others are much cheaper construction and thickness and more easily sheering. I would recommend these as the next best option!

The clamp was the same width and thickness as the original clamp, and it seems very well made. The only difference was that the original clamp had the 3 hooks/teeth pointing away from the boot and this one has the 3 teeths pointing to the cv boot. This was not a problem for my car because the boot is very thick where the hooks are touching it. In order to protect the boot from the hooks, I cut a small piece of bicycle tire I was planning to place between the teeths of the clamp and the boot, but I did not have to use it. I replaced a loose clamp, so I only took the car tire off for this repair. Removing the old clamp was easier than I expected by inserting a screwdriver in the clamp tightening loop and rotating until the clamp hooks disengaged. Installing the new clamp in such a tight space was very easy and effortless by using a small 4" aftermarket tool similar to the one sold by Toyota. For the tool, I used a 13 mm socket to tighten the clamp.

Very hard to tighten even with tool

This along with a killer clamping tool made for a small seepage that was addressed in under 15 minutes. I haven't had to use the rest of the pack but I am assuming it will hold just like the one I installed. Highly recommend!

The bend at the crimp-point did not allow it to be crimped. I had to remove it, start the crimp with a pair of needle knows pliers, so the crimper would not slide off without crimping it. I also had to form the end to the curve of the boot, or would not stay on until I could crimp it.BUT... after doing all that... it did crimp, and it has been holding for a few weeks without issue.

Fit good in place and it survived when I used the lisle special pliers to crimp it in place. Will be using these from now on in my automotive repair shop. They are really thick material. Pic above is on a 2005 Buick Lesabre. I always put a little spray adhesive on the boot prior to install so it really stays
