I our case, there is not one that I am aware of. The boots and other band clamps are pinched together at the square, then the top of the square is pushed down by one step process leveraging the RIGHT tool. The band when properly "pinched", sets all the necessary torque for the band to be in a "locked" state.





This is why they are a one time use item. Use once, Cut them and throw away each time.

Finding just the bands is a problem with the CV boots. I used BMW sourced boots and just replaced grease, boots and bands when I did my CV joint clean and boot replacement. That project took more set up and clean up time, than the repairs themselves.
