Review on Universal Car Ratcheting Caliper Piston Tool with 2 Steel Plates - Brake Caliper Press (Red, Two Size) by Sam Doucette

Revainrating 4 out of 5

SPREAD 'UM good for brake tools

Haven't been able to use this yet. Waiting for the weather to get a little warmer. First impressions. Looks like a useful, well-made tool. There are many such styles. Build Quality - While it looks sturdy, the rivets in the handle assembly are not fully ground, resulting in sharp edges around the heads of each rivet. I don't think you would cut yourself. But maybe. This is a cumbersome tool and can be difficult to hang on a perforated board. They could have made it easier if there was a hole at the end of the handle for hanging. I like the extra large platters held in place by powerful neodymium magnets. It seems that there is glue residue on the extra plates near the magnets. Used the tool today. Worked perfectly! I have been working on my Toyo Sienna and it fits perfectly. You can unscrew the adjustable plate for quicker installation. Fits like a glove. Didn't even need brake pads as filler. Maybe some lube on the jackscrewBlessings, John 20:29
