Review on πŸ”§ Caliper Compressor Spreader Replacement by OrionMotorTech by Mike Bogan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great tool if you can figure out how to use it

I used it on a 2017 Ford Transit 250. The tool itself is a great help and I find it has just the right strength for the job it was built for. It doesn't have instructions probably because it's mostly only used by professionals so a normal tutorial might be too difficult to assemble and also use it to the point where it might get bent or damaged unusable. Remember you are not trying to compress the poison, it should just be wind and the winding direction is different for the passenger and driver (there is an arrow printed on the caliper to tell you which direction to use). Also remember that you are compressing brake fluid. Combination of rubber and metal tube with small inner diameter = you will feel the resistance! Before you start rewinding, open the brake fluid reservoir to allow the three compressed fluids to flow back much easier. Now at some point you can feel that she has won. Don't wrap further = strong resistance, so wait a bit, readjust tool so that it is not too tight or too loose and try again. it will go on smoothly again. If you feel strong resistance again, . wait, adjust and continue again. With enough patience and your sensitive hands, the tool will work flawlessly as intended. I totally disagree with the person who bent this tool doing the same job as me, it's not the tool's fault! it is always the human factor. This tool will either compress or rewind, you just need to know what your caliper and hose require to use this tool. ignored at first sight and wanting to try. I also tested on 4 people the ability to use the tool without knowing what it is or what it does. The age differences were between 7 and 43 years. Everyone was given the same simple information and tasks. The first task: You only had to select 3 parts from the box that are necessary for the tool to work. Result = all failed. 2nd task: assemble a board from 3 parts and make it functional. for women it only takes 5 minutes, so grown men complaining that they can't solve this problem without another adult should not write a negative review, especially if instructions are included. Enjoy the video of the little boy showing you how to put it together correctly.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
