PLASTIC TURN KNOB BROKE
The black plastic knob broke immediately once it got harder to turn. The caliper piston didnt even collapse far enough. Poor quality. I used a 17mm socket to help turn the bolt.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend
Simple tool that does its job
cheap tool, does its job, I can imagine that if the pistons are stuck this tool is not the right one
I had to put a piece of wood between the piston and the tool
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
Good simple tool
Easy to use, turned the usual ordeal of compressing brake piston with a C-clamp into a 30 second job
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
Not for Volkswagon!!!!
This came up as a match for a 2007 VW Rabbit (MK5). Will never ever be able to compress the piston with this tool. VW requires spinning the pistion while pushing it in, impossible with this took.
I used the loaner tool, certainly the right tool for the job.
I kept it and was able to use it on a 2005 Kia Spectra, not problem retracting those tiny parts. It has a plastic handle, good thing is that it is a 17mm bolt under it, so if it breaks, the tool becomes a better one by incorporating the 17mm wrench or ratchet.
Waste of money
The metal bracket bent in while I was turning the plastic knob, then the plastic knob broke. Didn't even compress the cylinder and now it's broken. Advice: purchase a C-clamp and use an old brake pad to squeeze in cylinder.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend
