Full details
The Laser CV Bootgun Pro (8616) is designed for professional mechanics and DIY enthusiasts needing to install flexible CV boots onto driveshaft assemblies quickly and efficiently without dismantling the joint. Its key benefit is the pneumatic operation that speeds up the process, reducing labor time. A caveat is its requirement for an air compressor, making it less suitable for mobile use without one. This tool simplifies a common, often time-consuming automotive repair task.

Troubleshooting
Tool does not actuate or has weak operation.
Check air pressure is within the 58-116psi (4-8 bar) range. Ensure the air connection is secure and free from leaks. Verify the 2-way air switch is functioning correctly.
CV boot is not fully installed or slips off.
Ensure the correct adapter part is being used for the shaft diameter. Confirm the CV boot is properly seated on the gun's arms before actuation. Check that the driveshaft taper is clean and free of obstructions.
Arms do not open or close properly.
Inspect the arms for any dirt, debris, or damage. Ensure the hand-operated opening mechanism is not obstructed. If pneumatic operation is weak, check air supply.
