What It Is / How It Works

This is a ratchet-type brake caliper press compression tool for cars. It is built to push back or spread caliper pistons during brake work.

Who It's For / Use Cases

Brake caliper press tools suit car owners and mechanics who service disc brakes and need to push back caliper pistons or spread brake pads during a brake job. They are useful for anyone who wants a manual tool in place of forcing pistons by hand.

How to Use / Care

1. Turn the ratchet head 360 degrees to position the spreader where the caliper needs it.
2. Use the tool from any direction, with its thickened, reinforced pad and comfortable handle.
3. Use the bi-directional ratchet to spread the pistons or retract them.
4. Use the tool across the wide range of car brake caliper jobs it is designed for.

How to Choose

Start with the caliper you work on, including whether it is a single, twin or quad piston design. Check your brake caliper size before buying, then match it to the retraction and spread supports listed in Product Specifications.
