Hi. I'm Mike from 1AAuto. We've been selling auto parts for over 30 years!

This is a brake caliper compressing tool. You can get this from 1AAuto.com. This works great for single piston calipers. You can install it into your brake caliper. Then you put the old brake pad here. As you tighten it, this pushes against the outside of the brake caliper and then the piston. The screw part pushes against the piston and the old pad and pushes the brake caliper piston back into the caliper, so when you go to install the new brake pads they'll fit over your rotors.

This is a nice little tool to have. It makes doing brake jobs a lot easier, much easier than struggling with a C-clamp to get it in there and compress your brake calipers. This is a handy little tool and it's available from 1AAuto.com

Thanks for watching. Visit us at 1AAuto.com for quality auto parts, fast and free shipping, and the best customer service in the industry.

great tool to have, made the job so much easier. I love it!

BETTER THAN A C CLAMP

ERNEST

I CHANGE BRAKES ON CARS AND TRUCKS AND THIS BRAKE PAD SPREADER IS MORE CONVENIENT THAN MY OLD C CLAMP

Works as it should

Chase

This tool worked great for when I changed the front and rear pads and rotors. It has a solid build and feels durable.

A big help!

Clifton

I've always used a c clamp in the past when changing brake pads. This tool makes the job much easier! It's very inexpensive don't think twice just buy it you won't be disappointed.

It's okay for the price

Matthew

It's just okay. It worked. It could be better though.

Great tool!

Jason

Perfect for pushing back brake pistons! I know c-clamps are useful too but this tool is less bulky and makes it easier than dealing with a twisty c-clamp or pliers.

Jason

Makes for an easy brake pad change. Works well just use an old pad when pressing in your caliper piston

Good little tool

Jason

Works as expected. Much better than trying to use a c-clamp.

A must have tool for your toolbox if you do disc brakes!

Hubby said it worked great. It was bought to replace his old broken one. Used for the 09 RAV4 brake job and was glad he got it.

Easier and faster than using a C clamp like I used to.

David

Cool tool

David

Good tool worked as advertised.

Made it easier for this novice mechanic

jennifer

I was told this is a tool for the novice mechanic, which is what I fall under. However, it worked like a champ and made it easier to change my rotors and pads.

Melissa

The tool did exactly what I needed it to do!

Break piston tool

Craig

Works well. Just had to make adjustments to get both pistons down.

Joshua

Works great, required to buy for a brake job

Must Have

Nathan

Good tool make work a lot easier

Two Thumbs Up

Joshua

Does exactly as intended. No issues. Saw a 1A Auto tutorial on doing brakes for my car and this did the job for my front brakes. Rear piston needs to be twisted back in so couldn't use this. No need for any fancy / expensive tool here.

Awesome tool to have

Jon

Great little device if you work on brakes get one!

Works as it should.

Zachery

Tool works wonderfully. Made changing breaks a breeze

Good to go, I guess.

Torrick

Havent use it yet, but I have a cousin that has one & he loves it.

Good Brake Tool

Carlton

Good product. No problems noted.

2007 mazda 3 hatch back 2.3L - manual.

Carlos

Its only useful for the front calipers on a 2007 mazda 3 hatch back 2.3L - manual. This doesnt work for the rear calipers as those need to be twisted as you are pushing them.

Even a Caveman Can Use It.

Teeravat

Easy tool to use compared to clamps or traditional methods. Not too much effort to use and quite self explanatory in most cases.

Break bleeding tool

Roger

Really works great really makes the job easier

Almost one hand easy

Geoffrey

Could have saved 10 bucks & used a c-clamp, but hey, who doesnt like new tools? And this gizmo was easier to use anyway.

Gerard

good quality product

Jason

Press the caliper back in till its flush flat and extract the old brake fluid out of the reservoir as it fills up. Pressing the calipers will raise the fluid up, so extract it out and put new fluid when done.

LESTER

Very good THANK You AGAIN!

Excellent tool

Steven

Handy tool. Replaces c clamp previously used

Break par spreader

Joshua

Very helpful tool, I needed it on both front calipers to push in the caliper piston and it worked great.

Dennis

It is a lot easier than trying to use a c-clap and hold it and a pad to push the cylinder back in. Well worth the price.

Great!

Sam

Works great! Much easier than a c-clamp.

Gary.the old man

Gary

Must Have

Big

Works as intended

You need this!

Michael

I have one from last brake job. It's the right tool for the job and that makes all the difference in the world! There are other ways to do the job, but this is soooo much easier.

jon

More convenient and portable than using c clamp or groove plier to push caliper using old brake pad in between tool plate. Don't forget remove brake reservoir cap to release pressure and pump brakes before drive off.

John

Great tool

Duane

device makes compressing the caliper pistons easy. Didn't need to find my large C clamp.

Nice

John

Good

Dorothy

very happy with service and price

A needed tool

Margie

This was part of our replacement parts to replace front and rear breaks. It is a must have and came with the "kit" worked great. If you buy parts separately make sure you have one of these you can't do the brake job without it.

Tools

Tony

Great value, could be a little more heavy duty

Alfredo

I use it on all my cars. Works as expected

ROBERT

OK, not very strong, but did the job based on limited use.

Doesn't work as recommended

Kevin

Don't waste your money, get a C-clamp. This tool did not extend far enough to push the piston in. The handle broke, within a few minutes. It's like a prank joke.

Satisfied customer

Eliazar

This product is a life saver and a money saver at the same time. No more going to an auto parts store to borrow theirs. Thank you 1 A Auto! ????

Prefer C-clamps and wood block over this.

Luke

Did not find very helpful - prefer a block of wood and c-clamps.

Get it instead of using pliers

Eric

Does a great hob at doing what it's supposed to do.

As described

Brian

I have not tried it yet, but it is just like the picture. I will post how well it works when I use it.

Moises

This is my first tool that I have bought at the store, but I have purchased other accessories such as suspension and steering mounts, as well as pads for the brake discs for my 2013 Hyundai Sonata all are excellent, all fit perfectly everything fits exactly As the store describes it, it is wonderful to deal with you. I recommend the store to other buyers. Thank you very much.

EASY TO USE

MARK

great little tool

Jose

Work really well no complaints

Chinese plastic

Jerome

Strips out at handle very quickly , works if you attach a pair of vice grips to the screw and then it works fine . would not buy again , and would probably cost more to return than what its worth...

Great simple tool

Quicker and easier Caliper compression!

David

This tool worked Great ! I have always used a C clamp to compress the calipers but this made it so much easier and quicker. Thanks 1 A Dave

Don't buy the expensive one. Buy this one

Eliseo

Having your own brake piston tool for that price is a steal. Easy to use.

Better Than A C-Clamp

Caleb

This beats using a c-clamp for compressing the brake caliper piston.

Brake Tool

Alejandro

I would have given it five stars but didn't quite fit the brakes I was using it for. All in all it did the job.

Brake pad spreader.

Blaine

Worked great if you use it properly.

It's what you need

Zach

Really makes a brake job go faster. I always used a monkey wrench or a c clamp but this tool is slick and easy. It's actually a pretty sturdy tool and it turns just fine under a load to move the cylinder.

Cheap however not worth it.

Salvador

Love how the product looks however the functionality is very poor.

LUIS

Very good quality and easy to use

Reynaldo

Works great

Excellent tool

Swat

Glad that I bought, very useful tool to compress the caliper and install brake pads. It a great tool to use when needing brake pads replacement, just twist clockwise to compress calipers gradually that allows brake fluid to drain out or back to hydraulic system.

This tool may compressing the caliper so much easier than using the old C clamp Method.

Easy. Quick. Reliable.

David

Use each time I can and still in great shape.

Peyton

Works good

Must have tool for brake jobs!

Lane

This tool is a MUST HAVE if you are doing your own brake jobs! It makes pushing back the caliper piston super easy. If you have two caliper pistons on each of your wheels, simply use one of the old brake pads to insert between this spreader and the caliper pistons. Then simply move this spreader between each piston as you rotate the screw slowly and push back each piston. I've used this tool on four different cars doing brake jobs! Highly recommend!

Customer Q&A

I on a 2007 Toyota tcomb my 4 L engine four-wheel-drive TDR are there a way to bleed the brakes without putting it on a machine?
