Question CV boot replacement tool?

Anyone tried a "boot slider" to replace CV boots? I saw one demonstrated by manufacturer from Israel at AutoMechanica trade show in Frankfurt last year, now see them listed on the internet (www.bootslider.com) by a distributor.

This pneumatic tool has "fingers" that spread / stretch the bootso you can slide them right over the outboard end of the driveshaft. Wouldn't even need to open the dif to release the inboard end of the shaft.

I've got an '84300D with 384,000 miles on it and the OEM boots are still good but on their way out.

Anyone try one of these yet?

Thanks,

fmb
