Pros & Cons
Pros
Ystool brake caliper press tool is easy to use and easy to compress. Works with dual piston and single piston brake calipers. Uses channel locks to push the caliper cylinder back in. Works better than using a c clamp or vice grips.
Cons
The concept is great yet the product is not made well. The rivets are not ground so it inhibits the range and ease of use.
Highlights
Quality
Just play with the tool before using and you will get the hang of how it works, heavy steel plates!
He was very satisfied, and impressed for the price.
Some reviewers have reported frustration with the ratchet function of this tool.
Otherwise the cylinder spins with the lever and it won't ratchet.

You have to hold the cylinder part of the ratchet from turning while you move the lever until some pressure develops against the pistons
