5.0 out of 5 stars A worth while unitasker
Doing brakes on our car and found the rear brakes needed to be replaced. Normally not a big deal but newer cars require the caliper piston to be "screwed" back in as it also serves as the parking brake. I did one with a pair of channel locks successfully but it was quite a hassle holding the caliper, screwing the piston and pushing it all back in, easy to do with three hands but I don't have 3 so. Got this tool to make it easier and yes it is worth it if you do brakes. I figured needing to replace a caliper because I ripped the piston boot with pliers easily justified the cost. They all looked pretty much the same so got this one and it worked great. So yes it can be done without this tool but it does make it easier and less frustrating doing a simple task.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great value for price paid
I bought this kit to do brakes on my daughters Ford. It has different pistons in the calipers than my vehicles.It arrived in good condition with all pieces and includes more adapters than I will ever use.The case is a little thin and the adapters won't stay in place if tossed around, but this is not professional grade. If it was it would cost $100 or more. For the average home mechanic it will last a lifetime if taken care of.Will spend most of its time on your shelf anyway.Its easy to use if you don't rush and keep the threaded collar snug to the caliper plate (the long plate with the larger hole in the middle). With every turn of the shaft just tighten the collar up to the plate again and it will stay together. The key words are "don't rush". This type of kit is probably most helpful with the "rotating piston" calipers I've read about or pistons with the pad notches that must be aligned to the pads as a standard c-clamp won't work on those. I will experiment on my next brake job whether to use the RH or LH threaded tool for my non notched/non rotating piston calipers to keep the collar snug to the push plate easier. Otherwise its back to the c-clamp for me, unless I come across the other types again.Others have written reviews commenting about receiving a kit that was used. They probably didn't realize they actually purchased a used kit at a cheaper price. Be sure to pay attention as I almost picked by lowest price only to see it was for a used item. I decided against used as new is still very reasonably priced.Overall I would recommend this kit. It is a decent tool at a reasonable price. Can be a little awkward at first, but not difficult to use if you are patient and don't rush.
5.0 out of 5 stars Nice kit.
Nice kit. It worked great for my first car that required this tool. It is easy to use and seems to cover most cars out there. I like the case and how it keeps everything organized.
4.0 out of 5 stars Good kit - not for 2018 Mazda 3
This is a great kit for the price, and easily compressed the front calipers using the #3 adapter. However, I bought this kit for the rear brakes on my 2018 Mazda 3, and nothing would work.I took the #10 adapter to the grinding wheel and made the projections about half the length. I then put a slight bevel on the inside of all three projections and the tool worked great. I took me about an hour to figure out what I had to do to make it work, but it was worth it in the end. Not a chance I could have completed the rear brakes without it.The magnetic adapter holder is a bit weak, but does the job. The threads on the tool were clean and moved well, and the bar for turning was of good quality.
5.0 out of 5 stars Got it quicker and cheaper than Autozone
This is a strong and well-made product!! I was going to buy this product at AutoZone, but it was almost double the price, so i took a look on Bolo and it was priced at a decent price. The best part it would be here the next day!!! that in itself was a plus for me. I am so glad we ordered it, and it is a great addition to my sons' mechanic tools. Would recommend this product without hesitation.
5.0 out of 5 stars Good quality
Great little kit operates smoothly nice quality
5.0 out of 5 stars A great tool to have for brake jobs !!
This tool performed really well during the last brake job. I installed new pads and updated to slotted and cross-drilled rotors, and this tool had all the correct adapters for working on Honda & Acura brakes. It made compressing the calipers a real smooth and easy job. A worthwhile investment, saving a good bit of time.
