A must for relining rear disc brake calipers that incorporate a screw-type parking brake mechanism. Eight precision adapters to fit most cars with four-wheel discs. Includes 3/8" square drive adapter to use with 3/8 '' drive tools. Adapters engage piston, which is then screwed back into caliper to make room for new pads. Helps protect piston or boot from damage.
Excerpts of reviews.
“ Anyone that does their own brakes should have one of these.
No flash, no decoration, just brutally simple and fantastically useful.”
**********
“I bought this set of tools in hopes of replacing the god-awful rear caliper 'cube' that I've tried to use -very- unsuccessfully over the last few years. All the cube managed to do was frustrate me, slip off the piston, and mash/pinch knuckles, hands, and palms...
I tried the tool out today and I tell you what, this thing works like a champ! It didn't take very long at all to compress both calipers, using the #5 insert and holding the sleeve with a 7/8" wrench, with no blood loss or fowl language!
I give it five wrenches for performance and value!”
**********
“I've used this model for about ten years it’s exactly what we need to retract the rear disc brake caliper pistons.”
**********
“Local dealer wants $400 to do the rear brakes. Impossible to do without this tool, and it worked great. I will do all my brakes from this point on...this is something most people could learn to do themselves and save big $.”
**********
“This tool is better than the tool truck versions. The thin discs allow the tool to fit into the caliper on the rear of a VW, even when it came so far out the pads went metal to metal. Similar tools are too thick and require you retract them manually with the cube first. Especially with the VW systems, that's nearly impossible. And the quality of this set and the case it comes in is good. I haven't found a caliper yet that the adapters don't fit. I'm very pleased.”
**********
“First off, you don't need this tool. you can use a c clamp and some pliers to get the piston in with help from a friend. It is a pain in the @#! though! Get this tool if you want to make your life a whole lot easier. I changed my pads without a problem. You need the tool and grab an adjustable wrench to turn along with it. (you'll see what i mean when you try it yourself). Once I figured out how to use it, I did the other side's rear brakes in about 15 minutes...by myself. It
is good quality and already paid for itself considering about 400 bucks to change the rear brakes alone!”

Lamborghini 'their choice' says Webb
Fri, 21 Mar 2014IT WILL be up to pensioners whether they spend their retirement pot on a Lamborghini, Pensions Minister Steve Webb said as he defended a relaxation of rules announced in the Budget. Critics have warned that allowing pensioners to draw down the cash rather than being forced to buy an annuity will result in some blowing the fund and relying solely on state help. The luxury Italian sport cars sell for six-figure sums.
Chevrolet six-month global sales highest in a century
Thu, 21 Jul 2011Chevrolet saw 2.35 million global sales in the first six months of 2011--its best first-half mark in 100 years. The automaker credits the success of new small-car models for much of the growth, namely the Cruze compact, the Spark minicar, the Aveo/Sonic small car and the Orlando MPV. Chevrolet sales increased 14 percent in the United States from the same half-year period in 2010, with 286,499 more units sold.
