It works best with brake adjustment tools

I thought it would click and turn but it's actually very easy to use. Gives good leverage and the air pressure is strong enough to push the piston when you turn the crank itself.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Very expensive

Connects to standard air connection

Great product, have been using it for a few months now. The only downside is that the threads on the tool are not standard for a pneumatic fitting. I rethreaded with a 1/4-18 NPT tap and all was fine for regular use!

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Requires socket

The nipples are surprisingly long.

That's fine, but if the caliper sticks out too far, the car won't fit. The reason for this is that the nipples are too long to fit the device in a caliper. That's why I can't work fast.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Special Hardware Required

Do not buy this if you do not intend to purchase these hardware. both adapt it to a standard fitting. I have no idea why this company is selling a product with a hose fitting of this design. hope that helps.

Pros
  • Easy Install
Cons
  • Nothing

Will not buy again

The tool works, but the air release button is leaking. Oh, and the biggest issue is that this isn't a standard air fitting here in the US, which wouldn't be an issue if the hole and thread size were standard, but it's smaller than that by a quarter of an inch and thin threads Bore of a normal fitting. I managed to get this to work with some ingenuity but lacked customer support (no response)

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • The list will be long.

Air Line Fitting - Tools & Equipment

The air line fitting didn't fit my hose (ok they are different sizes) but when I took it out the one I needed didn't screw in freely. and maybe cross-threaded, but it works. Even now, the body had to be adapted to the new fittings. I'm not sure if mine is bad or not. worth a little effort

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • Some little things

Is working. But connector dimensions are

Works great. No complaints about its reliability and ease of use. I don't feel my wrist slow down like when using the manual which is worth buying. BUT the problem is that it comes with an unusual side connector and the threat hole was smaller so I couldn't just replace it, I had to buy a matching female and male connector to quickly fit the hose. Interconnects.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • No
