I have the first one, it does work somewhat but is flimsy. The winding bar is removable by design and that does not help when trying to get some torque on the band. I guess you are trying to use this for a boot of some kind? I prefer the ear clamps tbh.
Thanks for your 2 cents. Actually, I am thinking of using the band for a non-automotive application. I want to use a band that sits flatter.
From the images, the tool does look somewhat flimsy compared to the Lisle.
I have that industrial looking clamp/crimp tool. With that tool and those ear clamps, those CV boots are firmly held in place. .
For those planning to do a CV joint job, I highly recommend upgrading from the popular ear clamp pliers to the type that uses a bolt that pinches the clamp tight.
