"I use them just about every day and put some serious pressure on them to recess some slightly seized pistons, have held up for about a year so far."
"This can do single and obviously dual piston front and rear."
"I had purchased the lisle single Piston compressor from "the big red truck" that comes buy the shop and it was perfect, It made the job a lot easier."
"Handy little tool for compressing pistons."
"This made pressing the caliber pistons back in place very easy. The squeeze trigger style makes it easy to control the speed that you reset the pistons."
"One peeve is that when you're wearing gloves, sometimes they will just catch the release lever and press it just enough to not allow enough holding pressure."
"Sometimes the piston gets stuck, but I think that's me getting overly hype trying to move faster lol. Having the right tools is 90% of the job, and I gaurentee that you won’t regret purchasing this."

"I used these to install bearings, races, and pushing in a polyurethane bushing into my engine mount because I had nothing near me at the time."
"I only change and/or re-pack wheel bearings about once every year or two."
"Wish the bolt was a little lower profile, but easy enough to replace with a round head bolt."
"Super fast shipping!"
"However, like oil filters, automotive sensors and valves change like computers...fast."
"This type of pulley remover and installer is required when servicing power steering pumps with pressed-on pulleys. I needed to remove the power steering pulley on a 2000 Mustang V6 when replacing the water pump. The nut that is used to drive the pulley back on the shaft completely stripped with only moderate torque applied with an open ended wrench."
"The only benefit I received from the kit was that I was able to install the new air fuel sensor with one of the pieces of the kit without any damage to the new sensor."

"Been using this set for a while now and its good quality but my 2 biggest problems is that the case and the way it holds the adapters is very cheap and flimsy."
"Rated a 5 because even though I have not used the product it looks to be good quality for half the price of others. This review is basically a first impressions review since this kit doesn't work on my E90 BMW, but bought it to keep in my garage in case I have to change my parent's brakes or if I purchase a car in the future that will require it. Although, I assume broken parts are probably a common issue and paperwork in the kit states to contact the manufacturer directly and they will replace them within a one year period."
"One thing I did figure out on a screw type caliper, at least on a 1996 Ford Thunderbird, is that you want to open the bleeder screw. I actually broke the roll pin that holds the screw together trying to do it without opening the bleeder screw."
"I purchased this tool set to wind back some front calipers (that aren't keyed). This tool came with a small piece of paper that listed all the vehicles it works on. The only two negatives i have: 1) The keyed fittings are magnetic, which is nice, but the magnets aren't extremely powerful."
