OEMTOOLS 25265 Caliper Piston Compressor Tool, Brake Pad Spreader, Brake Caliper Compression Tool, Brake Spreader Tool for Use on Domestic and Import Cars and Light Trucks

It is very good but I know from experience that if a caliper piston is difficult to compress with this thing then it means that caliper will likely be sticking later.and i have stripped the plastic knob from the screw before so if you have to pull out a dual pistonspreader out and gotta use a lever with some real strength then yeah... That caliper will lock up like this silly 1996 Ford bronco autohub I worked on... Well, it immediately began sticking and pulling to the left. The car that actually stripped on of these type of of screw brake piston retractorthingies was a Toyota Camry. Dude was broke, needs front pads and rotors cause the were grinding etc and didn't want at least that single brake caliper if he couldn't replace both front calipers... It didn't lock up but who knows. That one probably did begin to stick later on. Otherwise this particular brake piston screw type thingamajig serves me well. Only used it on easy working newer production vehicles with less than 5 years in em although.

For years I had been using a generic large C-Clamp for compressing the caliper pistons. While this does work, it is rather ungainly to deal with. Decided to try this product as an inexpensive alternative.Price was right and this tool works very well. Doesn’t take up much space and is quick to use. I recommend it for those DIYers who prefer to do their own brake jobs.

Good price good product would recommend to DIYers

The right tool for the right job makes a huge difference. This tool works well and after using it three times with zero issue, I feel it was a great value. It is definitely easier than using a c-clamp.

Plenty of mechanical advantage against the pistons. You can easily turn the knob and in a few seconds your caliper is ready. Remove the old piston side pad and slide in 2 new pads.

The most versatile underrated tool to have when you need to push back the cylinder on the brick no power required except from the use of your hands to turn it very expensive

Not a very strong tool but for what you’re paying for I wasn’t expecting the world from it. Light duty it gets the job done

I have always used a c-clamp to compress the brake calipers but today's brakes are more sophisticated (dare I say fragile) so for my daughter's car I did not want to take any chances. This tool worked well and was easy to use. Compression plate is rigid, not flimsy.

Fast delivery.. recommended product

Lo utilicé en un Renault Scala (o Samsung SM3 o Nissan Almera Classic, dependiendo del país) usando la balata vieja y no tuve ningún tipo de problema. El material es resistente y la forma hace que entre completamente en la mordaza para empujar el pistón.

done its job great tool

Funciono al cambiar las pastillas delanteras de un Jetta MK4

Excellent product and easy to use. Used to retract caliber pistons on VW Tiguan
