Default tool for crimping clamps on cv joint; what's it called, where can I get it? any links?
want to do my cv joints tomorrow but I need to find this tool. I can't find it using the name "circlip" for a tool search. Any help is appreciated. If you know of another way to squeeze the clamp closed with something, feel free to post that as well.

Default I got mine at AutoZone...
I don't think you want circlip pliers, those are for c-clips, not crimp clamps. You want a crimp tool (sometimes also called CV Joint Pliers).

Default They are called snap ring pliers. Cost about $10 @ any auto parts store if you live near a harbor
freight store, you could probably find them for even cheaper

Default The clamps are called Pinch Clamps (not snap rings or circlips)
The pliers are called Pinch Clamp pliers.
