Review on πŸ”§ Sunex Tools 3930: Complete Disc Brake Caliper Tool Set & Wind Back Kit with Magnetic Thrust Bolts - 18-Piece Compressor & Spreader Tool Set for Brake Pad Replacement by Sean Davis

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Why did I wait so long to buy this instrument?

I've been doing auto repairs for a long time and when unscrewing caliper pistons I've only used needle nose pliers or one of the cube tools. But it was always a headache and took a lot of time. I finally bought the Sunnex tool based on other reviews and it works great. It is well made from what appears to be high quality steel. There is a magnet that holds the adapters in place, making the tool easier to use. It took about a minute for each caliper to spin back the pistons on my 2010 Lincoln rear brakes. Tip for users: Do not screw the pistons back in until you have carefully lifted the edge of the dust boot and sprayed some lubricant around the piston groove where the dust boot sits. When you do this, the plungers will snap back into place and you won't tear or roll up the dust cover. This tool is great and I highly recommend it. Should have bought it years ago!
