Product Description
11-Piece Brake Caliper Piston Tool
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!”

Tesla planning self-driving car
Wed, 18 Sep 2013Tesla are planning a self-driving car Now that car makers have been fitting radar and sensors to their cars for some time, which allow stuff like adaptive cruise – which automatically slows behind traffic and can even bring the car to s stop on its own – the race is on to make cars even more autonomous. We’ve reported recently on the Mercedes Intelligent Drive S-Class that negotiated its way – more or less – on a 60 mile route in Germany, and on Volvo’s self-parking system which will take your car in to a multi storey car park by itself, park, and meet you when you return. Google has also been playing with self-driving cars and has even gained permission to run its autonomous cars in California, and now Tesla are joining the fray with plans for an autonomous car in the next three years.
Car-sharing programs hit the big time
Thu, 26 May 2011Rental-car company Getaround introduced its business plan for “peer-to-peer car sharing” on May 24 at the Tech Crunch Disrupter conference in New York City. Unlike other car-renting and car-sharing companies such as ZipCar, Getaround works by connecting potential car renters with willing car owners via an iPhone app. All Getaround vehicles are privately owned.
