Review on πŸ”§ Complete 12-piece Set - HFS(R) Disc Brake Pad and Caliper Wind Back Kit by Ronald Wheeler

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not in the blue case as shown

This review is based on a 22 piece set. Mine came in a red case. Otherwise, as expected, cheap Chinese instruments. I have a new customer with a range of Ford Transit 250 and 350. They have very wide rear calipers, the pistons are not centered in the caliper and one of them needs to be turned counter clockwise. My 30 year old MAC caliper piston tool kit will work, but every time I used them there was a lot of combat and maybe a few curses with them. Just as good as my other set but I wasn't expecting that. Each time you have to assemble / disassemble as you have to swap the backplate and adapter between the two compressors. In addition, they must be completely disassembled. to put them back in the suitcase. I plan to plasma cut the second backplate, then leave it assembled and swap out the adapters if needed. That way I can keep them assembled in my tool chest instead of putting them on the shelf and taking them out every time I need them. 99% of the toolboxes on my shelf are red. I figured the blue case would make identification easier and allow me to take it with me instead of going through all the red case tool kits to find the one I need. All in all, this set worked well. If you work full-time in manufacturing, you should look for something better. I bought these to fill a gap my other set couldn't fill and they are good for occasional use. There were cheaper identical sets with red cases. I paid a little more for this blue case. A little disappointed, but for a twenty dollar tool I can only complain.GG - arbez
