Review on πŸ”§ GEARWRENCH Disc Brake Piston Tool - 3163D: Efficient Solution for Brake System Maintenance by Matt Morgan

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Avoid sharpening

Get this device even at a great price. It requires too much inaccessible internal leverage to turn the plunger and this adapter won't stay in place - bleeding joints! I can fix most cars, but I'm not a professional by the way. I'm not sure if other cheaper brands work better, but as often as the brakes need to be changed (rear on a Jetta) it can be an advantage to just have them done somewhere. My pads shot almost 90K so I might have to do it 2x more if I'm lucky. The cost of replacement brakes is worth it to avoid the inevitable hassle you will experience trying to use this adapter.

Pros
