【DAYTONA】Caliper Piston Removal Tool Review
Good rigidity, normal use.
[How is it used?
For Caliper cleaning and OH.
Was the one you received as per Image?
It was bigger than I expected. No problem using it.
How was your experience with it?
It is not cheap and seems to be hard to break.
The grips are soft and easy on the hands.
The feeling of use was good.
How did it compare to other products?
I chose this product because I didn't want to buy a cheap one and have it break immediately or have the piston scratched all over the place. I am glad I chose this product because I clean the Caliper at a relatively high frequency.
If you rarely use it, you can go find something a little cheaper.

Caliper Cleaning Essentials
[How is it used?
Used to clean the pistons of the Front and Rear caliper of YAMAHA XJR400R.
It was also used to remove the TZr50R piston during Restore, but it was stuck and could not be removed here, so it was eventually removed with Fluid hydraulics.
Was the one you received as per Image?
The size is much larger than I imagined. It is just right for a man with large hands.
It's pretty bulky in the tool box, and I thought it was easy to understand how to use since it comes with an Instruction Manual.
How was your experience with it?
The part that grips the Piston is processed into a ThornThorn so that it has a good bite to the Piston, and it has a butterfly screw to hold the Piston in its gripped state, so that work to turn/move the Piston can progress not only when attaching/removing the Piston but also when squeezing the Piston out.
[Points to note]
ThornThorn will damage the Piston if it is not used with a firm Hold.
You might want to bite Dustclothetc. as it scratches a little bit even with proper use.
How did it compare to other products?
There are plenty of cheaper ones than this on Amazonetc., but there are not many that are ThornThorn processed, so that may be a good Point.
However, the price is somewhat high, so that is a weak point.

Caliper cleaning and removal
It is a useful tool for cleaning/removal and pad replacement for Caliper.
The part that holds the Piston is also non-slip, so you can grind the Piston without slipping. The Adjustment is not likely to be used very often, but if it is not troublesome, it is better to fix the Piston firmly with the Adjustment and grind the Piston.

Necessities
Although it is a Piston Removal Tool, I think it is actually used more often to rotate the Piston.
This is also useful in regular BrakeMaintenance Piston cleaning. Or rather, there are more opportunities to use it this way.
Without this tool, it is necessary to look at the entire circumference to clean and check for rust, and also to turn it slightly when blowing metal rubber or silicon lubes to get them in place.
I think one should definitely have one of these tools.
The clasps...to be honest, I don't use them much.

If you're asking if it's necessary, yes.
The reason I purchased this tool was because the Chinese product I had purchased previously was unusable, and depending on the degree of adhesion, it would be difficult to remove it with this tool. View detail
It is easy to use for Piston that is not adhered.
Pistons that are not adhered can be used adequately. However, we cannot pull out a sticking Piston. If the piston is stuck, it is best to pull it out hydraulically. View detail
