Description of LUX Expander Spreader Sextuplet by JOJOY

【Application】This brake caliper press tool suits for disc brake, NOT for drum brake. The tool is equipped with 2 groups of push boards: 7.01x2.36"and 4.53x2.17".Smaller ones are suitable for disc brake system with twin and quad pistons fixed calipers, or single and twin pistons floating calipers. The bigger ones more fit for some sextuplet pistons fixed calipers. Also this ratcheting caliper spreader is designed to "push" the piston back, can not twist and compress, which some brakes need. 【Labor Saving】Brake repair brake spreading tool adopts 360 degree ratchet design, it is easy to get into place and use from any direction, also your hands will not get fatigued from the constant squeezing. The ratchet is in the centre of the dual piston brake caliper compressor, the two spreading plates keep parallel, make sure to spread the force on the caliper piston evenly, in case of caliper damage or pistons dislocation. 【Use-friendly】 Swing the long lever handle to expand and retract the spreading plates, and the positive and negative regulation is realized by flipping the reversing switch in the ratchet. Because of ratcheting mechanism, both spreading plates need pressure to start the ratchet, please squeeze them for the first few swing until the suitable size to insert into the calipers, then go ahead to swing. 【Premium Quality】Our brake caliper compressor uses high quality spreading plates with 1/8" thickness steel, high strength, not easy to deform. The lever handle has red cushion, skid resistance and feel good, will not hurt your hand while using. The bigger spreading plates with build-in small magnets and cylindrical pins, can install and unload quickly and easily from the compressor. 【Buy with confidence】 We offer 2 yr hassle free warranty, any quality issues in the meantime, you can ask for replacement. If they do not work for your car, you can use 90 days money-back policy.

Significant improvement over C-Clamp

This is a very handy tool. A significant improvement over the C-Clamp method. Also easier to use than one tool with multiple adapters for different size pistons. It's so easy to use and better quality than I expected. The only drawback are the magnets, which have to be pressed into the plates with multi-piston brakes. The magnets will not stay in place. But the plates still stay in place with pins. Would have given 5 stars if it wasn't for the magnets.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • New competitors are here

Not bad. The design could be improved, but it works.

the only thing i think people should know about this tool aside from being as narrow as possible (48.7mm/1.91in (with big extra inserts), 40, 5 mm/1.6 inch without them), the tool needs pressure to work. In short, if the tool rests on its axis of motion with no pressure, it will not ratchet. Not a problem if you can put some pressure on it with your fingers etc but I wouldn't think it would be a problem. The open end (with the round clip) will (possibly) protrude beyond the permanent plate and…

Pros
  • cool product

What can I say. Works

So I'm not a pro, but I understand the toolbox. Whenever possible I prefer to service my cars myself and save a few bucks. For years I've used the tried and true (though suboptimal) method of compressing my calipers, but with old brake pads and a set of channel locks... most of the time it works if you take your time. I recently decided to buy this tool. to get the job done right. I have used this tool on two of my family's cars and this is what I found. General: The tool has small inserts for…

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • No power
