Offset Cv Joint Boot Clamp Pliers - Neilsen CT6425

These pliers are primarily designed for crimping CV joint boot clamps, especially in tight engine compartments where standard pliers cannot reach.

They are specifically designed for eared clamps and Perma-Quick type clamps. While they can secure clamps on fuel filters, cooling systems, and vacuum lines, they are optimized for the boot clamp style.

The pliers have a maximum clamping width of 31mm.

The 90-degree offset head allows the user to work from the side of the clamp, providing access to areas that are difficult or impossible to reach with end-working pliers.

While they can be used on various lines, their specialized design for boot clamps makes them most effective for that specific task rather than general gripping or cutting.

The pliers measure 245mm in length.

Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use and periodically lubricate the pivot point with light oil to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation.

Ensure the clamp is correctly positioned within the jaws and that the jaws are fully closing. Check for any obstructions or damage to the clamp or pliers. Verify the clamp size is within the 31mm maximum width.

Practice the technique to ensure consistent pressure is applied. Ensure the top plate is properly flattening the crimp. Try different clamp types to see if compatibility is an issue.

While designed for confined spaces, extreme limitations may require alternative methods. Ensure you are utilizing the full 90-degree offset to your advantage.
