The one and only Tool that grinds Caliper pods
I'm not sure what else Tool can do for you.
It is the one and only Tool to grind Caliper pods and you may want to have one!
I've never used the other one, so I can't compare, but it gripped the pod well and was able to grind away!

For CT110 HUNTER CUB
I used it to service the front brake on my new CT110 HUNTER CUB because it squeals just before stopping. I bought it because it was cheaper than others and the feeling was good. View detail
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.

I chose it for the cospa.
I bought this in a hurry because the Piston Pin was very dirty.
I chose it for its price, but after using it, I am satisfied with its workability and functionality.

Sadly these did not work for me
About quality and texture - The whole tool is made of quite thin materials and feels undersized. For example, the handle has square edges and even with the covering it hurts to hold this tight in your hand and turn it. I found that I needed to hold it tight before turning as the lock screw is very thin (M3 size?) and if felt that if I tightened it too tight i would just cross thread it or round it off, although the folded steel bracket that holds this screw bends when you tighten as well so maybe its poor design (only held on one side) would stop that? About the feeling of use - It hurts to use this tool on an old caliper that needs a lot of pressure. I expect this would be ok on something that was in good condition, but on an old rusty caliper (with clean piston faces) this tool did not work. The (looks hardened as you can see in the photo) grips in the 'jaws' dug deep into the old piston inside edges and ripped the steel. Not something you would wish for if you wanted to keep those pistons. About Design - I think the deisgn is good but this set is cheaply made and I expect not the best example of the design. It is certainly not strong enough for being used on an old caliper where is piston is tight as that needs force to move it free, but I think that is probably the only reason DIY people like me would buy this tool. So, I have to say the design is 'bad' in this case. Cost performance and comparison with other products - It is cheap, but for my use it was money wasted. I didnt break it so I can at least use it on other (better) calipers, but it didnt do the job I wanted even when I heated the caliper. So I spent money on a tool and am no further forwards. There are other tools that look similar and I would look at those instead of this one. About shipping and packaging - shipping was fast and it was well packed. Any concerns, cautions, or advice when purchasing - I would not purchase this tool again and I suggest any potential buyer looks for another version that is built much more strongly if they are trying to work on old calipers.

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
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.

of high quality
The two included Plates can be interchanged.
It can be used with various types of brake calipers.
The Piston can be easily pushed in even with a 2-pod Caliper or larger, which makes work more efficient and puts less strain on the Piston.

MinimotoBrake Piston Pliers
Purchased because I am replacing the pad with Self. It is inexpensive and easy to use. 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
CaliperOverhaul
I purchased this for CaliperOverhaul.
It will be a dedicated tool for that purpose, so there is no other use for it. If you are going to borrow it from another source, it would be better to do so.
Now, I don't have such a reliable friend, and the choice was to pay a Motorcycle shop to do it for a high labor charge or to do it myself, and then TotalCost becomes an issue.
How much would it cost to get the tools myself? If it costs nearly 100,000 yen just to get the tools, I would not hesitate to ask a Motorcycle shop to help me. I think I can do it. Thanks to finding this product, which is very cost-effective, I have decided to do it by myself.
By doing it yourself, you can take your time to clean and check. This time is fun. Of course, self-responsibility is the primary requirement. Prepare well and find someone to talk to if you think it is not going to work.
You had not yet given me any feedback on how you used it.
It is inexpensive, so it may be adequate, but the grip is so thin that removing a lot of pistons hurts my hands. Wrapping a tubular sponge or rubber around it will improve the pain. Also, if the piston diameter is small, the grip width is large, so it is hard to handle.
But it was cheap, so I am satisfied.

Difficult to find situations where it is used.
While useful for turning and pulling Piston
It is not as if we have to do without this tool.
It is only useful if it is sticking or if you have a problem with love.
It's functional enough, but it scratches the inside of the Piston.
It is advisable to use a guess cloth.

Not much to go on.
It is used for Screwton's extrusion, but may be mangled with Driver.
If you don't want to scratch the Pad, this is the product for you.
I don't think there are many opportunities.
I bought it but used it a few times and put it away.

easy to work with
There is no rattling and the strength is sufficient. There are no problems in gripping, and the workability is good. View detail
It worked fine.
I bought this when I was replacing the Brake Pads on my W800.
Before I bought it. "It's cheap, but I wonder if it's large enough." I thought it was a good idea, but I am glad to say that I had no problems using it as far as I was concerned.
I think it's a little weak, so I'd say it's only for personal use.

It is easy to use
This was the first time I rode Brake's Piston, and I was pleased with how easy it was to use. However, since I have an air compressor, I don't think I needed it. View detail

Save time by improving work efficiency with special tools View detail
It wasn't supposed to be this.
It seems that the Pliers with a lock mechanism that was handled before has disappeared, so I had no choice but to buy this one.
It would have been more convenient to have a locking mechanism so that I didn't have to keep applying my grip force all the time.
Well, if the Caliper is in a bad condition, you can't just rub it out with this kind of tool, so in that sense, I don't think it makes much difference either way.
