Bought a new tool yesterday that i used for the first time today... its the proper tool for doing up them anoying metal bands that hold the CV boots on.

I love this thing... i put it on and run the band though the tool... i spin a thingo to tighten it... bend it up... pull another thingo to cut it... tap it flat and fold the little metal wings over... done.

Got it from repco for $50... should have bought one YEARS ago.

Is it Repco brand? I have often thought about buying one too.

I have had a repco ones for years it is great. I saw a cheap on the other day for like $25 which looked the same as the repco one, just repackaged.

Should come as standard equipment with Subarus

Got a pic? I'm trying to figure out what it may look like.

One of those ^^

I can get them for $38........
If anybody wants one give me a PM....

yeah ive had one for years there a bloody good thing....makes it easy

kick ass, always wanted to get one of them.. sounds like a good price... save me using cable ties :P

no, the best ever tool is the CV puller that a friend of mine made. It has a crown nut attached to a large threaded bolt which goes through a housing that fits against the front disc and another bolt on the other side of the housing. Basically you pull the CV through the wheel assembly enough to show a bit of thread, then this thing pulls it all the way through. Is brilliant!

what about an air operated cv boot gun it spreads the new cv boot open so you can slip it on over the cv save pulling the joint off. weve got one at work dont have to take the shaft out when doing outer joints

That link Tim posted up is the exact one.

sounds like u enjoy using this thing -u can come replace my cv's if ya want! jk

so thats what u were looking for the other day...
