Review on Astro 78618 Brake Caliper Tool by Thomas Chalecki

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works like a charm - calipers and parts

I bought this kit for my 2008 Jaguar XK as the dealer charged over $300 to install new rear brake pads. I bought the pads for $45 and this kit for $37 and replaced the pads in about 20 minutes per side + time to bleed each caliper. The #4 disc matched the calipers perfectly and slightly compressed the pistons. The one stop bolt kit was $35 and this kit was $37 so I went with this one instead. There are a few brands that require a reverse-threaded push-bolt (Ford, Volkswagen, and a few others I think) so I thought it was worth the money. I gave 5 stars because it's a very good tool set at a very reasonable price. They may not be Snap On, but they don't come with a Snap On price either. Very happy with this purchase
