Review on Lisle 44220 Emergency Brake Cable Release Tool: For Quick and Easy Emergency Brake Cable Release by Jorge Kumar

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Another limited-use tool that simplifies the process.

I installed new brakes and adjusters on my homebuilt trailer with rebuilt RV axles which made adjustment much easier. It's always been a screwdriver for years, but there's so little room to work with these drums, even with the jack jacked up, the little leverage this tool gives was worth the $3 spent...although I suspect it will be in the tool box for a long time before it will be used again. All in all, I'm still waiting for the first Lisle tool to be a disappointment. I think the tool is pretty solid, although some reviewers disagree, but it's not designed to get over rusty or frozen adjusters. So when you change shoes, it's time to clean them and add some oil. There are no complaints about him, hence he gets 5 stars.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Not the best
