Title: Improvement over a C-Clamp
Review: This is one of the simplest (and least-expensive) automotive tools I've purchased, but it is worth the $10 I paid. I used to use a giant C-Clamp (about 5x heavier than this spreader, and more awkward to boot) to push the piston back in on my disc brakes. Now I use this spreader, as it's a little simpler and easier to use.Just stick the large metal piece in the brake, take one of the old pads and place it against the piston, and tighten the spreader until you begin pushing the piston back in. Just be careful to not push too far (which is easy to do with this spreader, since it's so easy to screw in compared to my C-Clamp), or the gasket around the piston might squish out in a weird way!Best of luck!
