I bought the banding tool myself and have used aftermarket boots on mine. The original equipment inner boots are crazy expensive. Using aftermarket boots doesn't top $100 for both sides. Note though that it is a real pain to get the inner tripod joint off if the Allen bolts are stuck. I ended up replacing the boots while leaving the inner joint housing in place and instead just pulling the tripod rollers out after cutting the old inner boot band and reinstalling it the same way. It is a little tricky getting the grease in there, but it gets the job done.
