ReluxGo CV Boot Clamp Pliers Single‑Ear — Adjustable Screw Crimp, Heat‑Treated Steel

ReluxGo CV Boot Clamp Pliers are a purpose-built hand tool for removing, crimping, and installing single-ear hose clamps on drive shaft/CV axle dust boots without damaging the boot or clamp.

When servicing constant velocity (CV) joints or replacing axle boots, the locking straps that secure the rubber dust boot can be fiddly and easy to damage. The ReluxGo single ear hose clamp pliers are designed to make that task faster and cleaner: adjustable jaws, a locking screw for controlled crimping, and a tough heat-treated steel body give you repeatable results on most single-ear clamps used by Toyota, Lexus and many other makes.

How do these pliers make CV boot clamp installation easier?

The tool holds and crimp-closes single-ear clamps with steady pressure, so you avoid pinching the boot or crushing the clamp unevenly. A turn-screw drives the crimp closed while the jaw supports the strap, giving you a neat, secure lock every time.

• Adjustable jaw opening up to 20mm (0.78 in) for different clamp sizes
• 13mm (0.5 in) thread screw provides controlled crimping force
• Stable grip prevents slippage and reduces rework

Can these pliers remove old locking straps without damaging the boot?

Yes — the ReluxGo design lets you pry and unseat the crimped ear so the clamp can be opened and removed without tearing the rubber boot. The tool’s profile supports the clamp while you lever the ear out, minimizing stress on the boot material.

• Smooth, matching jaw contours for safe clamp support
• Controlled screw action to avoid sudden force bursts
• Phosphated finish reduces sticking and wear during removal

What vehicles and clamp types is this tool compatible with?

This clamp plier is aimed at single-ear hose clamps commonly used on drive shaft/CV axle boots, including many OEM styles found on Toyota and Lexus models. Its size and jaw shape match the typical single-ear locking straps used across a wide range of passenger vehicles.

• Fits most single-ear CV axle boot locking straps
• Compatible with many Toyota and Lexus applications (OEM 09521-24010 form factor)
• Works for similar clamp profiles on other brands

What is the build quality and how long will it last?

The pliers are made from AISI 1045 medium carbon steel and have been heat-treated for durability and strength. A phosphating and black finish protects against corrosion and wear, so the tool stands up to repeated garage use.

• High-hardness AISI 1045 steel construction
• Heat-treated for long-term strength and wear resistance
• Corrosion-resistant phosphated black finish

Who is this for: The ReluxGo CV Boot Clamp Pliers are aimed at DIY mechanics, professional technicians, and automotive hobbyists who work on CV joints, axle boots, and drive shaft repairs. If you need a reliable, purpose-made tool to remove and refit single-ear hose clamps cleanly — especially on Toyota and Lexus vehicles or any car using similar single-ear straps — this plier simplifies the job and reduces waste from damaged boots or bent clamps.
