Quality


Good strong quality tool for brake jobs


Very well built, would definitely recommend to the diy mechanic.


This tool is for single piston calipers not twin or tripple


You'll never wanna go back once you buy one of these, used to do the ol' c-clamp and an old brake pad trick to reset the piston...  Read More

Price


For $40 it is absolutely worth it.


I wanted to save a couple hundred bucks so i decided to change my wife's brake pads and rotors myself over the weekend.


Amazon charges $15-20 less for this item than most retailers so i was happy about that.

Shipping


3 days later i received a replacement in the mail.


Honestly, i did not try it yet but will do so in weeks to come.

Packaging/appearance


The black circular piece to pull the silver rod-piston arm back was on there, but the other side wasn't.

Competitiveness


I would recommend this tool to any technician or diyer.
