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.

Don't fuck with the customers.
I would never buy from this company, even if they are the only Manufacturer in the world. The customer service is arrogant and offensive. The corporate attitude is to be expected.
It's a local business and I want it to go away.
I would definitely not recommend it to everyone considering it.

The problem before the product
I made a phone call, but the man who answered the phone was unpleasantly surprised by the unfriendly manner in which he spoke to me The employee training was inadequate and the quality of the products made by such a company is to be expected I expected it to be a local company, but I would never bring it up for purchase again View detail
