Does the term I keep hearing "double wrap" mean what it sounds like that you run the band around the boot twice before using the tool to tighten. Thanks

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your answer, Jim...
I've used double-wrap bands on the small AND the large end of the CV
boot. Did this a couple months ago.
No trouble getting both from NAPA.

Kelvin, from what I understood from the instructions that I have with my
NAPA Band IT tool, It recommended that the smaller surfaces like the axle
itself be double wrapped for best results. I don't think that they
prohibited double wrapping the large ends, perhaps the amount of material
required for the large ones enters into it. The short ones have to be quite
long to wrap the axle and then thread through the tool so that they can be
properly tensioned and crimped, and maybe they can eliminate some lengths by
not having short ones. I do know that some people here on the Forum have
left their small ends totally unbanded. I personally do not think that is a
good idea, particularly in Oregon. Reason being that road grit, mixed with
water spray from the tires isn't too much different than valve lapping
compound, and if a wet slurry can find it's way into the boot, it will make
short work of the CV joint.

YES the large outboard end! That's where it's really important. The double
wrap, with the SS on SS bearing surface, allows the circumferential stress
to be translated into radial force without bunching up the rubber. At the
axle (small end) a single wrap would certainly suffice -- as does no clamp
at all.
