Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Tool helps separate the parking brake cable from the rear drum backing plate. Necessary to completely remove ebrake cable from bracket at retracting spring end. Perfect for rusted slides and adjustment screws.

The 90 degree bend works perfectly. The thin metal allows a lot of flex. It feels a bit flimsy, but it didn't bend when in use.



Cons

The jaws are a little too flimsy when you're putting pressure to release cables. The handles are too short, so unless you're removing a cable from a brand new vehicle with zero rust and corrosion, they won't work.

This falsely advertised \pictured chinese substitute is heading back to the seller. No markings on package. Picture is misleading, the one pictured is dark, thicker sides, and made in usa.

    If you think you’re getting the old 1950s styled beefy brake adjuster you’re not


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    But if you are trying to budge a rusty star nut on an older vehicle or a boat trailer that gets dipped in salt water too often this thin brake adjuster is a bit of a disappointment


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It worked for my car but i could easily tell there are vehicles this will not work on
