BELEY Drive Shaft Boot Clamping Tool 09521-24010 🛠️
Description:
This heavy duty drive shaft boot clamping tool from BELEY helps secure and remove CV joint boot clamps during suspension and axle repairs, making workshop and DIY tasks more straightforward. It suits a range of vehicles that use spring-style or crimped CV boot clamps and aims to speed up clamp handling while reducing the risk of damage to the boot or clamp edges.
Key Points
The tool is built for robustness and repeated use in garage environments, with thicker jaws and a reinforced handle that give extra grip when tightening or releasing clamps. It tackles the awkward angles often found when working under a car and the longer lever action reduces hand fatigue. ⚙️
Compatibility is a practical benefit. According to the manufacturer, the design fits OEM-style clamps such as 09521-24010 and similar sizes used by Toyota, Lexus, BMW and VW, among others. This makes it a versatile addition for mechanics who service multiple marques. 🔧
Consider that for very fine or single-use clamps, a lightweight clip plier might still be quicker. Also, the tool may not replace specialised factory equipment for high-volume production lines, but it is a solid option for most repair shops and home mechanics.

Usage Recommendations
Begin by inspecting the clamp type to confirm compatibility, then position the jaws around the clamp tabs and apply steady pressure. Work patiently to avoid slipping and damaging the boot material. For crimped clamps, use controlled force and check the clamp seating frequently while tightening. ⚠️
Store the tool in a dry toolbox to maintain the corrosion-resistant finish. For occasional users, pairing this plier with a selection of spare clamps and a small wire brush helps when cleaning clamp grooves before reassembly. 🧰
If the clamp is heavily corroded or fused to the shaft, consider light penetrating oil and allow time to soak before applying force, as excessive leverage may deform the clamp or the tool.
