Only use once or twice.

Pros
  • Brake Calipers and Parts
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

Don't waste your money on more expensive tools

This little tool works very well when used with a low speed 3/8" drive and a short extension. You can apply enough pressure to the plunger to screw it back in with minimal effort, in just a few seconds. If you have inverted calipers this is a great break in tool and it is solidly built Don't be fooled by the price this is a very good quality tool that fitted the 2005 Ford Freestyle pistons perfectly and worked better than I did I was hoping for.

Pros
  • Brake System
Cons
  • Big and Bulky

A handy dandy tool for the 3rd generation Acura Integra.

I was able to use this with a 1/2" to 3/8" female ratchet adapter to compress the rear pistons of my car's rear calipers. Changing the rear brakes on my car was a lot harder and longer than the front ones. However, they are not as hard/bad as drum brakes, so I have nothing to complain about. The rear brake pads on my car were a year and a half old, so this tool was difficult to use at first. This tool became easier to use the next day when the brake piston was "loosened" when changing the rotor

Pros
  • Replacement Parts
Cons
  • Faulty
