Thexton THE451 Emergency Brake Tool Review

An excellent tool that solves a very difficult car repair problem. I would recommend it to anyone who needs a rear brake pad replacement.

Those who have this tool and those who need it. I screwed on the e-brake cable for three days and almost halved it (later spliced it back in). This thing literally took every three seconds to switch my line - I would have easily paid $200 for it after all this suffering. The price is fair for the amount I will be using. Highly recommended!

It would take real creativity and time or wire cutting to take apart the ebrake cable housing on my Cavalier project. I first tested it on a stock rear axle I had and it worked great. By car. It took me quite a bit of penetrating oil and force to move the cable around a bit and I ended up using the large channel locks on the handle to fully disengage it. But the end result was that it worked, and I think my only option was to cut the cable. The tool paid for itself in one use without changing…
