Like many others I wasn't too impressed when I first saw the tool given the price I paid. However, it did a great job replacing the brake pads on a 2017 Chevy SS. It's the perfect size and has a notch on the tip that perfectly fits the caliper pin. I'll just treat the cost of this tool as insurance against paint damage on my calipers. That makes it a lot more profitable. Also, I've seen some reviewers complain about die bending. I'm not sure how that could have happened but it definitely wasn't a problem for my brake work.
