Lisle 29350 Combination Rear Brake Tool Kit

Below is a picture of how it looks the first time you use it. It looks like a wonderful product, doesn't it?.

It was super exciting to try this thing out, but I discovered that it didn't You have to squeeze your hands together as hard as possible to try and move the caliper, as there is no type of system that increases strength by using leverage. Despite trying several times, this tool did not budge my caliper even a fraction of an inch. In the end, I had to resort to using a calculator For the pistons to be compressed, a clamp is needed.

As compared to other reviews I have read where people reported that the brake pad spreader broke after the first use, I must have gotten lucky. It broke on me two years ago when I was compressing a quad piston brake caliper while using a Lisle 29100 Quick Quad Pad Spreader. Reviewers have noted that the handle detachment from the piston mechanism can be seen in their documentation. Aluminum is painted on the handle, which I believe is made of Perhaps Lisle could have made the handle of this tool from a stronger material so it would last a long time. Now I need to find a new brake piston compressor, and I suspect it won't be made by Lisle this time.

Since I have been using the Lisle break pad spreader (which is really a caliper depressor) for about 8 months, I can say that it is reliable and economical. After seeing the bad reviews here on Amazon, I was hesitant to buy this, but once I searched and found no other viable alternatives, I bought it. The Matco truck guy appears to be selling the same unit. As far as I can tell, the quality of the unit seems exceptional and I've had no problems If this unit falls into the wrong hands, I can see it possibly breaking. Using a slow squeeze on the handle will keep the caliper from moving too easily, which helps you achieve perfect results. In the case of someone using it on a frozen caliper or ratcheting style calipers, I could see it breaking It's not my fault if the other reviewer's unit broke so easily, I'm just surprised that he did it. In order to use this tool, a caliper shouldn't need a lot of force to depress if it does, the caliper is probably the problem. As far as I could tell, the metal used for it seems sturdy and in no way does it appear cheap like the other reviewer suggested. It's an essential tool for anyone who does work around a garage or does home repairs if mine broke today, I'd certainly get another one. A new update was published on Despite continuing to perform well, this tool remains efficient. As I helped a friend to do his front brakes, I brought along these to be on the safe side. While he insisted he had everything he needed (he did), I brought them It was kind of funny when he looked at me funny when I handed him the keys when it was time to press the caliper. The first thing he thought of using was his trusted He wanted to use a clamp, but I convinced him to It was great to see how they functioned on both calipers and to let him test them out. A short time after he finished the brake repair, he asked who made the brakes and where they were made. There are some tools in this world that some people don't even know exist, but once you learn about it, you find yourself wondering how you ever managed The following is an update as of Now it has been well over three years since I started using it, and it's still Besides the quad piston caliper compressor and the pad spreader by Lisle, I purchased both of them and they are just as effective. I just want to update you on Despite having used this tool for five years now, it still works like it was brand new.

This pad has a face measuring approximately 4 inches, so it should work with a wide range of I will update this review if any issues arise. It is made completely out of metal, so I'm hoping it will last a long time.

A C-style calculator can be used If you are using a clamp, screw it on To push a piston back into a caliper, it is usually a piston compressor To set up both takes some time, and to use both takes some time. I work as a flat-earther A rate mechanic is a cost-based method When all I need is something to save me time, I am able to finish a task more quickly and take on more work in a It works right away - When you use this dual piston compressor Pull the trigger just as soon as you can. The caulk gun works pretty much like it, but it is way more durable. Yes, in a way. If you use it on a single piston caliper, it will work as expected All you have to do is position it so the pushing part is square to the piston, and the black part grabs the finger of the caliper. A tool like this is not designed for use in this manner But I still find it to be a good product. While this dual piston tool is similar to the Lisle single piston tool, that one does not do as well as this dual piston tool.

. A well-made product - The user interface is easy to use - The old pad and a big C-shaped clamp simplify a 5-minute job into a 30-second job

Just like many of you, I have done a number of brake jobs using the old pad and a big C-shaped clamp Clamp your hands. Because different brake calipers have different designs, it's usually difficult to get the mounting holes to fit on the same surface Ensure that the clamp is pressed against a straight surface so as not to damage the caliper. There is no better tool for the job than this. Even though it is a $33 tool that I'll use once in a while, it appears as though it will last forever after it is used once. This is a recommendation I highly recommend. Please keep in mind that this is the single-line version Aside from the piston type, Lisle also manufactures a spreader for double-sided This is a piston caliper. In the event that you are not sure of what type of caliper you have, either look it up online or simply don't attempt to do your own brakes.
