Review on Ares 18024-16-Piece Brake Caliper Wind Back Tool Set - Effortless and Efficient One-Person Pneumatic Design - Complete with Compressor Tool, 15 Drive Key Disc Adapters - Includes Convenient Storage Case by Brian Delgado

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Well, what can I say? It works!

This tool makes turning caliper pistons easy! I had a manual lathe and I just couldn't get the piston to turn. I even bent the handle trying! I bought a MERLINH High Flow aluminum adapter from HF to be able to connect this piston rotator. Although the tool requires a maximum pressure of 114psi, I cranked my cheap compressor up to 120psi and cranked the caliper pistons with ease. After using this tool, the old-fashioned twist of the caliper piston feels "uncivilized".

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Almost OK
