Ring clip/clamp
Anyone know what these are called:
And if it is possible to reuse them. Doesn't seem to be a way to reclamp them.
I guess I need to order replacements so knowing what they are called is a good idea.

Ok, so Axle Boot Clamp.
Use once.
Fit with a specific tool.
And apparently cable ties are a good short term fix.
I will check out the options for replacements and maybe buy the tool.

Band clamp. Can definitely be re-used.
The tool is pinching plier, with a third hammer shaped jaw that comes down to shape the clamped section. I have re-used them all my life.
Proper tool is key to re-using.
