Selected User Reviews For Powerbuilt Ratcheting Brake Caliper Piston Spreader Press Tool - 647861

Despite the fact that it may not seem appealing to you, if you need to compress a disk brake piston into a caliper for an automobile, this tool will do the job Using this method if it comes to heavier duty vehicles or trucks is not a good idea

3/5

In my case, the first use of the product resulted in failure. This drive plate is not long enough to be ratchet into the piston via the threaded bolt. To finish your work, you will need to type A clamp. In addition to damaging the bottom threads of the drive bolt, the tool also damaged the head as it ratcheted the bolt. The additional plates provided for heavy-duty use come attached with magnets that are not strong enough to hold them in place reliably. It would be better if the magnets had a stronger force. As a first look, it seemed to be a special tool and one that would save me time. The use of the tool delayed the job instead. It was easier for me to give it away than to return This tool can be a useful addition to your toolbox if it is improved properly. Due to its limited capabilities, this device is best suited to light-duty applications.

The caliper compressor is an excellent tool for putting pressure on brake pads

5/5

It cost me a lot of money, but I bought this tool to see if it was worth it and to make changing disc brakes easier for me. The investment is well worth it. I really like the quality of the action. It works smoothly and is You won't need to squeeze the piston with a large pair of channel locks anymore.

The brake job was completed within a short period of time

4/5

I am very pleased with the This is not a cheaply made product. This product can be used to repair most brake problems. There is only one problem for me, which is that sometimes I have to use an extension bar because the handle is too short.
