  • It won’t spread peanut butter, but it will spread calipers
Like the title says, it won’t spread peanut butter, but it will spread brake calipers. Very solid tool, can see this being in use for years to come and worth the made in USA and extra quality. Pass on the cheap Chinese tools. And I can confirm that this will absolutely work on the front and rear calipers of a Mercedes-Benz GLS450 and GLS550 - fits perfect even in the smaller rear caliper. ... show more

  • Great tool. Well built
Costs more than others. But we’ll worth the additional cost. Well built and will last for years. Now that I have it I wonder why I didn’t get it sooner. Knocks back caliper pistons with ease.

  • Works as you'd expect
Works great as you'd expect from a lang tool. You can buy the same tool rebranded by bluepoint/Cornwell/matco but this is saves you a few bucks and using it as designed it shouldn't break. A coworker has the bluepoint rebrand and all the marking and numbers are the same, only difference is the bluepoint has a blue handle. ... show more

  • Brake pad compressor
It's very heavy duty and is well made. Easily compresses pistons. Really glad i bought this made in the USA item and not the cheaper made in China.
