What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing says the tool is for disc brakes, not drum brakes. Confirm the caliper type and whether its pistons push straight back before use. It also describes two plate groups for differing calipers, including some six-piston fixed designs, so verify dimensions and fit for the specific vehicle.

Who is it for?

A good fit for

DIY brake-pad work involving compatible disc-brake calipers whose pistons push straight back.
Users seeking a ratcheting spreader for selected single-, twin- or quad-piston calipers.

Less suited to

Drum brakes or calipers whose pistons need to be twisted while being compressed.
Buyers needing a universal rewind tool or confirmed fit for a particular vehicle without checking its caliper.

Frequently asked questions

Which brakes is this tool intended for?

The listing specifies disc brakes and says it is not for drum brakes. Check that the caliper and piston arrangement match the supplied plate groups.

Can it rewind a piston that must be twisted?

No. The listing says it pushes the piston back and cannot twist and compress it.

What caliper types are the plates claimed to suit?

The smaller plates are described for twin- and quad-piston fixed calipers and single- and twin-piston floating calipers. The larger plates are said to fit some six-piston fixed calipers. Confirm actual fit before use.

What does the 360-degree ratchet do?

It allows the handle to swing from different positions. The listing says both plates need pressure to engage the ratchet, so the first few swings may be needed to start it.
