Works like a charm. It's easy to maneuver, especially if each piston on a two-piston caliper needs an individual nudge. If a piston doesn't go into the bore smooth and steady, you'll sense it immediately - which alerts you to another issue to repair. Great product, reasonably priced. I'm surmising that it was manufactured at Lisle's plant in Clarinda, Iowa, USA, because I didn't find any "Made in China" labeling. Bonus points for that.

This is a simple but effective tool. I like it for the front calipers of my cars that have single piston calipers (which many, many but not all cars have). It's perfect for that. It only has one purpose, but it works well for that.

Put this little unit to the test to push the caliper piston back in. No rust with sealed packaging, seems to have a solid weight, could spin the backing plate piece with one finger on thread (not much slack) and feels like a quality/solid unit, have not used other brake pad spreaders but would not hesitate to get a Lisle one if I had the choice again.

Did the job easily, feels solid ish, I don't like that the circular piece of metal at the 1 end is like a bobble head. Also this is double the price from my local hardware store. if you have some time, just buy from there than pay double here

For decades I have used the C-clamp method for compressing the piston in disc brake calipers. For whatever reason I could not get enough clearance on my second to last brake job; a very frustrating outcome.For $13 dollars I thought I would give this a try, I have always had good service from Lisle tools.This device made my most recent brake job a breeze; it actually made the experience enjoyable. A minute or two to compress the piston and get on with the job; I’m just disappointed it took me so long to discover this device.Every vehicle in my ‘fleet’ has single piston calipers, so this tool will come in handy numerous times in the future. Highly recommended!

Muy buen producto. Desgraciadamente este ya no es hecho en USA pero confío en la calidad de Lisle. Hasta el momento no tengo quejas.

It does exactly what it's designed to do, and it does it just fine. If you're buying this tool, you probably already know this, but you need to use an old brake pad or something like that to let the tool work against -- this tool will not work well on it's own without the old brake pad to press against.Honestly, if you have a c-clamp already, just use that. And if you don't have one, you can probably find a suitable one at Harbor Freight for half the price of this. I don't exactly regret buying this, but it was also kind of a waste of money.

First, and this is from the heart - replacing brake pads is only marginally more difficult than changing oil. It's really not that big of a deal, provided you have the right tools and some patience.This is a good tool, and one I tried after using a C clamp for years. It has a number of advantages, not the least of which is that it fits easily on all kinds of calipers. Thing is, with a C clamp you need to have a good point on the caliper where the stage will fit...without a good resting point, the clamp may slip off the caliper and spin you off into a dimension of frustration you've never even read about, let alone experienced.The build quality of this tool is just fine - apparently the manufacturer addressed some of the QA issues.My main nit with this tool is mainly around design. I mean, it works and all, but sometimes that piston can be a little reluctant to be compressed. This design doesn't let you use leverage to make the job easier...you have to twist in a direct line with where you want the force to go. Having something on the handle where I could attach a wrench or a ratchet would be magical.But that's not THAT big of a deal - main takeaway is that this simplifies the job. I like it more than the C clamp simply because it's more versatile across a wide variety of vehicles. A good tool.
