A very complete set.

I like having one tool with all the options. I change all the brakes on my cars myself and have always used C-clamps. With more modern cars it felt like it was time to up my game and I never know when a car will have rollback calipers. The instruments feel very solid and I am happy with the quality of the metal parts. It's bad, but it could be better. Each part is inserted in the marked place on the holder. When I first opened it, several parts slid around the case in the wrong place. I figured

Pros
  • Includes stop screw kits for left and right hand threads
Cons
  • So far so good

Well done brake replacement parts

Looks very solid. I haven't tried it yet, but looked at the components. The bits looked dirty and the container was full of black spots. But it gets dirty over time anyway, so I didn't mind. Pretty expensive for what you get. But I'll give it 5 stars if it works well when my pads arrive and I can use it. Update: Well I used it for my brake job. It was kind of a pain to use. The round nozzle at the end kept falling off. They had to make the pin longer so it goes in and says it's in. You need to…

Pros
  • Set of 24 turns the piston back into the caliper to fit new pads and pads
Cons
  • Some mistakes

Works reasonably well with brake release tools

was definitely practical. works as expected but a few small complaints.1. The plastic mold on the body for holding parts isn't the best. Some of them are too tight making it difficult to take them out and put them back in, while others aren't tight enough and always leave those pieces out when I open the case. It really doesn't matter.2. The hand tool I wished was a bit longer as that would provide better leverage. If your calipers aren't too old they should spin with them just fine, but if…

Pros
  • Includes storage case and pair of gloves.
Cons
  • The price of the piggy bank

Very impressive! Much better than expected.

I have been working on cars, trucks and motorcycles for 53 years. I'm also what you might call a tool freak. I love well made instruments. I have so many tools that people are overwhelmed when they enter my shop. Surprisingly I don't have a single tool kit, this is a caliper piston compressor kit. Simply because I never needed it. I've done more braking work over the years that I could count, but most of the time the caliper piston doesn't need to rotate when it's pushed into the caliper and I…

Pros
  • Kit contains 18 adapters to fit various brands of modern vehicles
Cons
  • Mostly fine but...
