Pros & Cons
Pros
Great tool, perfect for removing tight brake pistons. Still helps to use compressed air but this is a great tool especially for the price. Must say very nice piece though, thank seller for making it available. Very happy with the purchase.
Cons
The tool itself is kind of flimsy in the sense it is not a long term use tool. When i try to remove frozen pistons the tool gouges the inside of the piston. And now it's not big enough to grip the rear caliper pistons.
Highlights
Quality
Just a note to let you know when old calipers are too stuck use air, no problem with the tool!
Only four stars because it doesn't have starrett like quality.
Not great quality build, but it did the job so i’m not complaining.
Did have some issues with the internal sliding bar of lock mechanism bending, but will admit i was putting a lot of force on the tool.
Shipping
I am using it on my 07 harley street glide:tool came today with decent shipping time.
Competitiveness
This tool worked really goor on 27mm od pistons.
These are half the price of a pancake compressor at harbor frieght.

Im not sure why so many people are having an issue

They only worked for the front and wouldn’t fit in the cups for the back i might have that backwards

It seems theyre more geared towards smaller brakes i used them while rebuilding a pair of z32 calipers and i had to file down part of the handle in order to thread the adjusting bolt down further

Was too late through my rebuild to try using an air piston but the most the tool really allows for is gradually twisting the piston out as not nearly enough leverage or grip to pull directly out
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Took about 2030 minutes of pulling to get one piston added up to a heap of time but i didnt have much alternatives so was glad to have a means of removing the pistons
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I did some research and these were highly rated
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
No more blocking the other pistons with wedges and squeezing the lever to get pistons out far enough to clean up
