Review on πŸ”§ HXXF Brake Caliper Press Tool with Ratchet, Car Brake Piston Caliper Wrench Spreader – Essential Hand Tool for Car Repair with Gloves Included by Rob Dixon

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Sufficient for home use. No shop tool

A decent product for the money. Pros: Ratchet, affordable, feels sturdy and well built compared to others I've used. Cons: The ratcheting feature requires pressure to work. Seems simple enough, but it really took the first application a while to find a method that worked. The gloves are useless and appear to be XSmall. There are no instructions for the device, but most mechanics don't usually read them on tools. I really learned some of the pressure from the reviews. Overall this can get the job done, I've done 3 cars so far and the coating on the panels is already cracking. This means it will rust if left unfinished. Otherwise reasonable for the price, but definitely not a shop tool. More of a household item.

Pros
  • Excellent price
Cons
  • Defects present
