I used this tool for the first time yesterday. It does exactly what it is supposed to do and is so much easier to handle than a bulky clamp that won't quite fit onto my caliper. It compressed the piston very easily. I'd recommend this tool, just based on how easy it is to use.Honestly, I did not try it yet but will do so in weeks to come.Looking at the thickness of the material, it is made to last and will not break.Will post back when I get to use it.This tool works great. Did a brake change on a 100k mile nissan altima and there was no struggle! Only thing i wish for it that the black arm was a bit longer since my caliper bracket is smaller.These offer the same ease of repair as bigger named tool brands at a much nicer price, certainly would recommend for anyone working in the automotive industry or just weekend warriors.Made brake job that much easierFor heavy duty hands might break it. When u pump don't expect the caliper to back up immediately. So go slow an steady pressure will work betterThis thing is pretty great.The first thing I want to mention is the first thing that hit me when it arrived. It is much bigger and much much beefier than it looks in the picture. The one I got is light grey instead of black as well, but I don't care. One of the reasons I hesitated on this product is because it looked like a plastic or at least rinky dink gimmick. But I relied on the positive reviews and bought it anyway, because I was sick of using a C clamp that never seemed to seat easliy or perfectly square due to brake hose or caliper design, etc. The c clamp was even more of a pain on dual piston calipers, trying to get it perfectly centered and squared up so the pistons go straight back and do not get cock-eyed and stuck. Can I get by with the C clamp? Sure, but it was almost always more of a pain than I'd like, and I found myself seemingly doing more brake jobs lately.Now, I've only used this once, on front dual piston calipers, and it worked awesome. It is super easy to use, and pushed them back without any trouble.One tip I'll give is that you need to let the pistons depress back slowly. Each squeeze of the trigger does not just instantly jam the pistons back, but instead, it builds pressure against them, which moves the pistons back slowly. Essentially you build up the pressure, and as the pistons move back, the pressure is obviously going down, so what you do is give it an extra squeeze as the pistons move, and maintain the pressure against them, which forces them back. It worked great for this, and took maybe 30 seconds or less per side total time to depress the pistons, from grabbing the tool, putting it on the caliper, and fully depressing both pistons. I was a little worried that maybe it wouldn't be able to put enough pressure on the pistons to move them, but it was no problem. At times, these same pistons have been a PITA to get to move back with the C clamp, but not with this product.I plan to do the rear brakes soon too, which are single pistons (and do NOT have integrated e-brake that needs a special tool to turn it as it compresses), and based on the size and design, I do not see why this would not work for them either -- I fully intend to use it on any single piston calipers I find as well.One other thing I want to mention is that I looked at a number of products. I was sick enough of the C clamp method that I was willing to invest in a specialized tool to speed the process up, and to attack all the pistons more squarely on all types of calipers as well. I was sick of screwing down the C clamp only to find out that I'm not quite square enough, and the only way to get more square was to press the C clamp against where the hose connects, or somewhere else I don't want to be putting that kind of pressure against. A lot of the tools you see appear to only be for the rear brakes in new cars which use the caliper for the e-brake, and need the tool to actually turn the piston while it is being compressed. There are a couple of other even cheaper tools than this that use the same effect of spreading two plates, but they appeared even cheaper in design, and I've used some of them before, where you need to wrestle with the cheesy handle, trying very hard to get it to turn to compress the caliper. It's almost, if not, worse than using a C clamp, especially for dual piston calipers. This was the best product I could find for the job, and was a very fair price for what you get IMO.Overall, even though I have only used it once, I'm very happy with it. It is ruggedly built out of sturdy metal, and does not feel chinsy. It appears that it will last and work on most brakes I'll ever encounter. I'm sure if you had jammed pistons or ones that are really stuck, it may not work, but in those cases, you should probably be rebuilding or replacing the caliper anyway.I would and will recommend this unit to friends. It makes brake jobs go so much easier, and for me, that was easily worth the price.The Lisle 25000 Rear Disc Brake Caliper Tool fits more vehicles than kits with many more attachments. I have a 2013 Ford Escape Titanium. I bought a large kit from Advanced Auto Parts because their website said it had an adapter that would work on the Escape. It did not have a the proper adapter for my car. The Lisle 25000 Rear Disc Brake Caliper Tool had the correct tool at a lower price and substantially better quality.Pushes all the pistons back at the same time and is quick and easy to use. Not much else to say really.Really simple to use applies an equal amount of force to the pistonsGreat tool works a treatThis tool is so massive, that it will only fit in two of the deep drawers, in my newer (and huge) Snap-On tool box. It's ridiculously big for a hand tool. What a joke, seriously. It's well made, but because it's so big, it sits permanently on top of my tool box. Just stick to using C-clamp vise grips. Faster, cheaper, and they're multi-purpose. Have to compress a dual piston caliper? Then use a used brake pad, and the C-clamp can compress two pistons at once. I would only buy this tool if you can get it for $25 CDN, or less.Lisle should've made the tool a two piece design, where the handle coukd be disassembled, for storage. You idiots!Used it for Front and Rear brake pad replacement of Mercedes-Benz AMG C43 W205 2017Removed the sensor, used the tool with the old brake pads in to make some space and use that space to push the cylinder back removed the pad and used the tools again to push all 4 cylinder together to the back, careful if pushing one cylinder only, there is a risk of other cylinders come out, IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOU DOING or HESITATE ==> Don't Risk and take it to the shop
