ABN Brake Tool Sets w/ 18 Pc Disc Brake Caliper Tool Kit & 8 Pc Drum Brake Tool Kit – Removal and Installation Tools

When I purchased this, I thought that it would be an exceptional improvement over the usual shade tree methods of braking drums. There are pliers that it has that I assume are supposed to help with spring removal and installation. However, the bends seem odd and the leverage is terrible. If you use the standard slender screwdriver technique for drum brake spring installation, you will gain a big advantage. Despite the fact that the kit contains three tools for handling compression springs that hold shoes in place with the backing plate, the tools are not able to grasp their retainer well enough to be able to turn them There's nothing better than a normal pair of pliers for In spite of the disc brake tools, I did not use them. When the opportunities arise, I will make use of this kit since I already purchased it. Typically you don't need anything like this kit for disc brake work, but if I have the opportunity I will try it out.

All the items fit in their respective locations in the case, so nothing gets lost. These tools are very good quality, I've used them on cars and a heavy duty truck a few times already. I couldn't believe how easy it was to change the rear drums on the truck with the brake drum set!.

I think this set is really well made. It was my first time using this tool, but I have used a similar set for years and have been familiar with it. If your vehicle is equipped with disc brakes and the rear emergency piston needs to be spinned in, this is a necessity. Moreover, left and right hands are included so that a dual piston caliber is easier to shoot, or if you are left-handed.

It's a great tool for anyone who struggles with drums or can't find a few of their tools. I purchased it last year to have an all-in-one break kit. The other day, I used the disc compressor for the first time and found one completely stripped out as if it had been forgotten to thread. Upon contacting the manufacturer, they advised that Amazon should be contacted. The warranty/customer service was non-existent and no one offered me the part I needed on an individual basis. Cheap tools are one of the main reasons I refuse to purchase them. guess I have once again learned my lesson.

The product was purchased for a complete building project. As I replaced the calipers and the breaking line to the master cylinder, I did not use the front breaks. During our back breaks, the bent screw drivers were very effective in putting the tough springs back on both sides of the vehicle, i used the other screw driver tools to remove the springs and they worked great, however, my favorite solution was to use needle nose vise grips.
