DeadNutz:
Anybody use this type of ratcheting brake tool? I have always used the screw type spreader but this ratchet model looks better by far. This model is pricey but is steel construction while the much cheaper models are plastic ratchets.

Nope.

I like the concept, not the price. Granted, I am a DIY'er, and the number of brake jobs I do annually is equal to the number of annual Dr visits I attend, then I might not be the right target market for this product.

If I was in a production environment, it might be another story. However a large screwdriver pulled from my extensive and collectible inventory seems to accomplish the end result for me.  ;)

I have used very large size Channellock slip joint pliers.

I have looked at that type of brake tool.

I wonder if I need to pop for one. What is the advantage?  :017:

Have sold several of them to pro wrenches and get asked for them often.

I would say a great timesaver
