Product Information

Full details

This Sealey CVJ Boot/Hose Clip Tool (VS1636) is designed for automotive technicians and DIY mechanics who need to quickly and securely tension and cut CVJ boot banding material. Its key benefit is enabling efficient, single-handed application of boot clamps. A potential caveat is the learning curve for achieving optimal tension with the winding mechanism. The tool features a robust winding mechanism for tensioning, an integrated lever-action cutter, and a large, comfortable handle for ease of use.

FAQs

What type of banding material is compatible with this tool?

This tool is designed for standard CVJ boot banding material and compatible hose clip banding. Always refer to the banding manufacturer's specifications for tool compatibility.

How do I adjust the tension?

The tension is adjusted by turning the winding mechanism. Consistent turning applies tension to the band. Practice is recommended to find the ideal tension for different applications.

Can this tool be used for any type of hose clamp?

While primarily designed for CVJ boot banding, it can be used for certain types of hose clips that utilize a similar banding and tensioning system. It is not suitable for spring clamps or screw-type clamps.

How often should I lubricate the tool?

Lubricate the winding mechanism and cutter pivot points periodically, especially if you notice stiffness. A light application of oil every few months of regular use is generally sufficient.

What is the warranty period for this tool?

Please refer to Sealey's official warranty documentation or contact your retailer for specific warranty information regarding the VS1636 model.

Can I replace the cutting blade?

The cutting blade is integrated into the lever mechanism. If the blade is damaged or worn, the entire tool may need to be replaced or repaired by a qualified technician.

Troubleshooting

Banding not cutting cleanly

Ensure the cutting blade is sharp. Clean any debris from the cutter mechanism. Check that the banding is positioned correctly under the cutting lever.

Winding mechanism is stiff or difficult to turn

Clean the winding mechanism thoroughly to remove dirt or old grease. Apply a small amount of light lubricating oil to the moving parts. Ensure the banding is not caught or twisted.

Tool does not grip the banding securely

Check the jaws for wear or damage. Ensure the banding material is inserted correctly and fully into the jaws. Clean the jaws to remove any slippery residue.

Band is not tensioned sufficiently

Practice using the winding mechanism to achieve optimal tension. Ensure you are winding the mechanism correctly and applying consistent pressure. The type or thickness of the banding material may affect tension capability.
