I can honestly say I’ve never seen a pair of pliers like that before. What are they used for?

It is called CV boot clamp plier

I got one, very handy when it comes to replace the split boot.

Thats interesting! I havent seen this tool before either

wayneburgessMember since May 2012May 16, 2013 1:27 PM CT

They are for the clamps that hold the cv boot in place on some vehicles.

I can understand someone being real keen to get some as they are the devil to fit with anything else LOL 🙂

The prices of reman axles these days,not worth changing the boots on them and don’t need this tool.Better off buying a reman or new axle,save time doing it this way.All you do is pop the old axle out and install the new or reman axle.

I know Autozone rents some auto related tools out for free don’t know if they include this tool though.
