The BARTOO Brake Caliper Tool is made from carbon steel for long-lasting strength and includes a 360° rotatable ratchet, a reversible mechanism for extend\/retract action, and two caliper hooks so you can hang the caliper safely while you work. It’s built to fit most modern disc brake systems (not for drum brakes) and is designed to reduce hand fatigue during repetitive brake jobs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the 360° ratchet make compressing pistons easier?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rotatable ratchet lets you operate the tool from any angle, so you can access tight wheel wells without awkward hand positions.
