Review on πŸ”§ MERWOF 23-Piece Pneumatic Brake Caliper Wind Back Tool Set: Efficient Brake Piston Compressor Rewind Tool, Ideal for Car Brake Adjustment (23PCS Set) by Prince Fratto

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It would be a great tool if a more conventional fitting was used for the pneumatic connection

I tried using this tool to loosen a brake piston after replacing brake pads. One of the main tasks is to move the piston backwards to leave enough space for the brake disc. The idea behind the tool is great, pushing it with pneumatic power. And the different sized rims make it generally compatible with a wide range of car manufacturers. Disc 32-53 works fine for me. However, the showstopper is a rare type of quick coupler on a supercharger. It's not compatible with all the connectors I have. It can partially engage the pair, but never fully engage the pair, so the holder cannot return to the engagement. It took me a long time to realize that this was actually a Japanese-style high-flow faucet, very rare in North America. I have to invest more to get a compatible clutch that will work with my compressor. Before the clutch arrives, I have to use a large C-clamp to push the handle down, which basically goes back to the original way of pushing the piston without tools. I'm hoping the manufacturer can convert it to a North American plug or supply an adapter, otherwise it's really not that useful.

Pros
  • Automotive
Cons
