ReluxGo CV Boot Clamp Pliers Single-Ear Black — 20mm Jaw, OEM-Style Crimp Tool

The ReluxGo CV Boot Clamp Pliers is a single-ear hose clamp removal and installation tool designed to quickly and securely crimp and release drive shaft boot locking straps without damaging the boot or clamp.

This compact hand tool reproduces the fit and function of OEM clamp pliers so you can replace or service CV axle dust boots with confidence. Made from heat-treated AISI 1045 medium carbon steel and finished with phosphating and blackening, it resists corrosion and wear while providing a precise jaw action. The pliers accept a maximum jaw opening of 20 mm (0.78 in) via a 13 mm (0.5 in) adjustment screw, giving you control for a variety of single-ear hose clamps commonly found on Toyota, Lexus and many other vehicle models.

How does this tool remove and install single-ear CV boot clamps?

The pliers use a controlled crimp-and-push method: compress the clamp ear with the jaws, then rotate the integrated screw to force the crimp into its locked position or to release it. That two-step action reduces the need for improvised tools that can damage the boot or clamp.

• Jaw opening adjustable up to 20 mm for different clamp sizes
• 13 mm screw rotates to set or release the crimp precisely
• Designed to mimic OEM clamp geometry for accurate engagement
• Smooth action improves when the screw is lightly greased

What features make the ReluxGo pliers durable and reliable?

ReluxGo builds the pliers from medium carbon AISI 1045 steel that is heat-treated for added strength and then phosphated and black-colored to fight rust. The combination of material and finish ensures long service life even in workshop environments where exposure to grease and road salt is common.

• Heat-treated AISI 1045 medium carbon steel body for toughness
• Phosphating and black finish for corrosion resistance
• Wear-resistant surfaces where the jaws and screw engage
• Compact, hand-friendly shape for repeatable use

Which vehicles and clamp types will this pliers work with?

While designed to match the single-ear locking straps used on many Toyota and Lexus CV boots (including OEM 09521-24010 applications), the pliers are sized to fit most single-ear hose clamps found across many makes and models. Its adjustable jaw and screw let it accommodate variations in clamp width and ear thickness.

• Compatible with Toyota and Lexus single-ear CV boot locking straps
• Fits most single-ear hose clamps used on drive shaft boots
• Adjustable jaw covers a broad range of clamp profiles
• Ideal for workshop and DIY axle boot repairs

How do you use and maintain the clamp pliers for best results?

To use: position the clamp ear in the jaws, squeeze to crimp, then turn the screw to push the crimp into its locked seat. For removal, reverse the process and lift the crimp while protecting the boot. Light maintenance — occasional lubrication of the screw and cleaning off grime — keeps motion smooth and precise.

• Crimp then rotate screw to lock; reverse to release
• Lightly grease the screw for smoother operation
• Wipe after use to remove grit and prolong finish life
• Store dry to avoid surface corrosion over long periods

Who is this for? The ReluxGo CV Boot Clamp Pliers are made for mechanics, automotive technicians, and DIYers who regularly service drive shaft axles and need a reliable tool to secure or remove single-ear locking straps without harming the dust boot. It suits owners of Toyota and Lexus vehicles using OEM-style clamps as well as anyone seeking a durable, workshop-grade plier for common single-ear hose clamp applications.
