On a scale of 1 to 5 stars, this thing is a 10 star... I change brakes for I think every single person I've ever met. Not really but I definitely do at least 15 brake jobs a year for friends and family for free. I just used this tool today for the first time and I have never had such an easier time doing brakes... As a matter of fact I'm ordering a few more of these tonight too. Just in case something happens to the one I already have. I've got so many different brake tools and this one is by a million times my favorite. And I think it's cheap as hell for what you are getting...I now have 3 of them, because the first one worked so good. I've been changing brakes for the last 34 years and have never looked forward to it. I just did it to save money and help other people save money. Even though I have the impact and all the tools necessary to make it easier. I just never liked doing it for whatever reason. Lazy? Idk... What I do know is that I'm excited now and I can't wait to do brakes again... No more large C clamp for me anymore. Yes I also have the other specialty tools but nothing even comes close to this thing... The quality on this tool is definitely superior to most others... And yes it's heavy duty. I just used it on my 2015 chevy tahoe ltz with the max brake package and it was so easy to push the large dual pistons all the way back. My 3 yr old granddaughter could have easily pushed those pistons back with this tool... Yes its that easy that you will do it with one hand and the other hand holding the caliper... No problems at all, not even a hint of trouble. I should have changed my pads sooner though because I waited so long that the pad was gone and I screwed up my rotors. That's how much I disliked doing brakes... I had the pads for almost a year waiting for mine to go bad... No excuses other than I just didn't like doing brakes until now... I just included a picture of just one of my socket drawers for those who may think that I'm just a guy with very few tools who doesn't really know what I'm talking about... I am a huge tool guy... I have just thousands and thousands of dollars worth of tools.
