Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Lang Tools 279-5420 279 Brake Caliper Press: The Ultimate Solution for Efficient Brake Caliper Maintenance by Kendrick Dooley

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works great if it fits in the hole. Same model as Bluepoint's snap-on version.

Skip the Tool Cart (Bluepoint by Snap-On) and Buy Direct from the Manufacturer and Save $$$. Lang is one of the brands that rebrands many tool trolleys for even higher markups. Very handy tool when space permits. Not always suitable when the caliper is small or the piston is too far away. Definitely more comfortable than a conventional hand-wound caliper. The ratchet takes some time to get used to as it won't always rotate unless you hold the center still while it sags (consider rotating the ratchet with the socket attached and occasionally grabbing the socket, before turning the ratchet again to rotate). I use it weekly at a dealership and it hasn't let me down except when it didn't fit!
