"I just finished changing the brakes on a Ford Transit van that has screw in type calipers on the rear."
"One good thing for me is that I no longer need to loan a tool from autoparts store, and I can call this my own."
"almost all of our cars require this tool to change the brake pads!"
"just as good as other kits I've had."
"Kind of sloppy, I was hoping for a better fit, maybe it is just the Jaguar and the adaptors fit other brands better?"
"As advertised....same as a rental tool from big parts dealers, good quality and should last."
"Having both right and left hand thrust bolts makes a huge difference when changing position to get leverage on some really stubborn calipers."

"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."
