I used this for my 2007 Ford Mustang GT after the dealer recommended tool failed to do the job. This kit included the right fitting to go on the T handle, and it simultaneously rotates and compresses the caliper piston when you turn the handle. Note that I found I had to rotate the collar every few turns to keep it snug against the piston, because the piston compressed faster than the T handle advanced into the collar. Without a tool like this, the job would have been impossible, because Ford's design makes the pistons incredibly difficult to compress, and I couldn't apply enough pressure by hand with a ratchet to compress it while simultaneously rotating. Note that I found that even with this tool, I needed to use a pipe to give myself enough leverage to rotate the T-handle. (But this is Ford's fault. The tool worked as intended and it was cheap!) - By Smilla
I had a heck of a time finding a brake piston compression tool for my Mazda 3. I purchased this one in the hopes that it would do the job. The good news is that I managed to make it work. The bad news is that it did not come with an attachment that fit the holes on my brake piston very well. There was one that just barely worked if I kept enough tension on the system. Instead of taking just a minute or two per side it took me about 10 minutes. Still, having this tool made it MUCH easier than it would have otherwise been. -By Aaron B
This well-designed tool set enables you to install new brake pads without having to employ expletives or perform a "blood sacrifice"! I just used it to install new pads on my '00 Land Rover Discovery II and it felt illegally easy, saving lots of time and frustration. Highly recommended! -By W. D. Rupy
