Review on πŸ”§ HXXF Brake Caliper Press Tool with Ratchet, Car Brake Piston Caliper Wrench Spreader – Essential Hand Tool for Car Repair with Gloves Included by Kevin Bucher

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Bad quality, good idea. I wouldn't buy

This is one of those tools/products that you research and study and then think you made the best choice and when you get it you realize how crappy they are quality is. On first use, one of the plates pressing against the piston broke (the weld came loose). And then, unless you have a lot of friction plates on the pads, the ratchet is useless. You move the ratchet back and forth and it's not a ratchet. He just goes in and out. The idea was good. Bad performance. For the record, I'm ASE Chief Mechanic and Mercedes Benz Chief Engineer. I have everything from Craftsman, Harbor Freight Tools to Snap-On, MAC, Matco. That's the quality of a really cheap port loading tool. I just used it again today and I regret never buying it.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions
