Easy to use, pretty fancy tool to use instead of other means necessary cough cough C clamp.
5.0 out of 5 stars Top Notch Seller
My husband was very excited to receive this tool. He was able to use and raved about the ease of use and how much it helped with the brake job. Sadly, the tool broke after first use. We reached out to the seller and they immediately made it right by sending a new tool with no questions asked and zero hassle. THIS is how you build lifelong customer relationships. Provide a solid product and when something isn’t 100%, you make it right for the customer. We are extremely satisfied with every aspect of this seller and their product!
4.0 out of 5 stars Great for the DIYer. 1 and 2 Piston Calipers
Remember: This ratchet requires pressure to expand/retract. If used properly, it works great and makes compressing the pistons extremely easy. A magnetic extension piece snaps on/off for use with 1 and 2+ piston brakes, though it was a bit too thick for my 1 piston rear brakes even at its thinnest setting. Decent, China quality similar to Harbor Freight tools. Probably won’t last long in a mechanics shop, but seems like it will last a while in the typical DIYers garage with some care. Recommend for any brake job DIYer — This tool is much easier than C-Clamps. Especially recommend for larger, 2 or 3 piston setups. Tested on 2016 Subaru WRX (2015-2020 model)

Great tool to have
1.0 out of 5 stars CAVEAT EMPTOR (BUYER BEWARE)
I think perhaps Bolo #B0B8MWNM9T or #B005GLQCKA would be a better choice.I have been wanting one of these since the last time I did a brake job. It seemed like the perfect tool for it's purpose. Sadly, not so. The brake job was on a 2500 RAM pickup. This is not a dinky vehicle and the rotors are very thick. The tool did not fit between the pads until a C-clamp was used to start compressing the cylinders. It is not obvious until you actually use it, but even with the tool fully contracted it will not fit between the old pads until you compress cylinders by another method to accommodate it. Once fully deployed and positioned between the old brake pads, even then it does not do a good job. Plus it is very difficult to get it properly aligned to begin with. This trucks calipers have dual cylinders and it did not compress them equally. I finally reverted back to using c-clamps to get the job completed. So you know, it is not for lack of skills as I have been servicing my own brakes and those of friends and relatives for over 50 years. This tool just does not work as you would expect. I'm sending it back for a refund.
3.0 out of 5 stars Will probably get the job done, depending on your caliper, probably wont last long though
Ordered this for 4 piston brembo calipers that are part of the BMW m sport brake package known as M Sport S2NHA.First disappointing part, the "smaller" pad set that is on the tool (without the magnet extensions) was too long to fit between the caliper pad area.I had to dremel off approx. a quarter inch of metal on each side, wasting about 3 dremel metal cutting disks which unfortunately cost about 3 bucks a piece, so...about $10 wasted into correcting the dimensions on this tool.After that, you quickly realize that there's no way to use the tool with the caliper mounted, so you will have to remove it no matter what, not useful at all for just swapping pads out.Additionally, ratcheted open to full capacity, the tool doesnt spread far enough, and one side just falls off, so you have to put one or 2 pads back in, then squeeze the metal pad area on the tool to create enough friction for it to expand again.Basically, this will likely work in a pinch, but it really is poorly designed and cheap and a knockoff of a similar ratcheting design from performance tool for twice the price.The only positive to this is it did work, and on the rear smaller calipers, you can turn the metal pads on the tool sideways to make it fit on the dual piston rear brembro calipers to spread them as well.I dont think this will last long term as the metal pads are already starting to curve just from using them 1 time on a full brake job. I will likely end up returning it and just coughing the money up for the more expensive Lisle quad piston spreader instead.
5.0 out of 5 stars very easy to use
No more C clamps. This is the tool ya need from now on . SUPER!!

Easy to use
Very Useful Tool for the Home Mechanic
For years o have just used C-Clamps to compress brake cylinder pistons. Truthfully I bought this as an impulse buy. After having used it though it works very well, a handy tool and easy to use. A great addition for the home mechanic. My only negative comment is that they could use a stronger magnet to hold the oversized plates for 2 piston compression, but it works very well regardless.
