This ratcheting brake caliper tool helps you push back pistons quickly when changing brake pads and rotors. Its central ratcheting mechanism applies even force to compress single, twin, or quad pistons at the same time. The design lets you work faster and avoid damaging the caliper seals. Features and Benefits
- Ratcheting handle - Spreads force evenly across pistons with a simple squeeze, making the job less strenuous.
- 360-degree swing - The lever can be repositioned at any angle, giving you access in tight wheel wells.
- Steel spreader plates - Two sizes of steel plates (2-3/8" to 4-5/8") are included to fit a wide range of calipers.
- Reversing switch - A simple flick of a switch lets you pull back the plates for easy removal after compression. Applications
- Pushing back single, twin, or quad piston calipers on most cars and light trucks.
- Resetting pistons during a full disc brake service, including installing new brake pads and rotors.
- A useful tool for both home mechanics and professional auto shops.

The centrally located ratchet distributes force evenly to prevent piston misalignment.. Q: Will this work on both single and dual-piston calipers when I'm changing my brake pads and rotors? A: Yes, it works on most single, twin, and quad piston calipers. The two included steel plates (2-3/8" x 4-5/8") can be used together or separately to fit different caliper types..

A: The 360-degree swing ratchet lets you work in tight spaces where a C-clamp handle won't fit. It's much easier to reposition and apply steady pressure, especially with the caliper still on the vehicle.. Q: How does the ratcheting action help compared to a C-clamp?
