Pliers Hazet Axle Boot Clamp 1847-1, 230 mm

Hazet Axle Boot Clamp Pliers model 1847-1 are 230 mm specialist pliers engineered for fitting and removing axle boot clamps on CV joints and axle shafts. The pliers provide a narrow profile and controlled jaw movement to access tight areas around the boot, enabling secure grip on metal clamp ears without crushing or slipping. Constructed to meet workshop demands, this 230 mm tool is suitable for both professional mechanics and experienced DIY users who require precise clamp handling.

Advantages

These Hazet pliers offer precise jaw alignment and a focused contact area to minimize damage to rubber boots while enabling reliable clamp closure and release. The 230 mm length balances reach and control for access in confined wheel-arch and suspension spaces. Hardened contact surfaces and ergonomic handles ensure consistent performance and reduced hand fatigue during repeated operations. The tool’s profile improves visibility and access to clamp ears compared with general-purpose pliers.

Suitable for

• Installing axle boot clamps on CV joints and driveshafts
• Removing worn or corroded clamps from axle boots
• Automotive suspension and drivetrain maintenance
• Professional garage service and targeted DIY repairs

Key specifications

• Overall length: 230 mm
• Tool type: specialist axle boot clamp pliers
• Primary use: fitting and removing metal ear-type boot clamps
• Jaw profile: narrow access design for tight spaces
• Material and finish: hardened contact surfaces with workshop-grade handles

How to use

Position the narrow jaws of the pliers over the clamp ear, aligning the contact surfaces so they engage the ear securely. Squeeze the handles evenly to close or compress the clamp during installation, or to deform and release the ear when removing an existing clamp. Maintain firm, controlled pressure and avoid excessive lateral forces that could damage the boot. After use, visually inspect the clamp and boot area to confirm a secure fit and proper sealing.

Usage recommendations

Use the pliers on clean clamp surfaces and with adequate lighting for precise alignment. When removing corroded clamps, take care to avoid sharp edges and consider wearing protective gloves and eye protection. Store the tool in a dry toolbox to prevent corrosion and periodically check the jaws for wear to maintain reliable operation.
