I got one on ebay for about $9.00

 

I redid rear CV's a year ago and used at wire cutter readily available at any hardware store about $10. It is flat face cutter like the one in this picture:

Worked a chamr to crimp the band nice and tight.

P.S The CV-man excellent servicee price and tech supoort as you do the work.

 

i used a long needle nose pliers, worked great when i ripped boot on trail and replaced at camp site,

 

When I had my 03 300 I busted 3 cv boots and used a pair of channel locks to squeeze the bands together.
