 Works Fine, but 4 Pins one Side?Jul 28, 2011
By Pinata
Worked great for my Lincoln after a modification.
The issue I had with this Cube is one of the sides of the Cube (a side not shown in the picture) has 4 identical Pins to fit into the mating Piston holes. The Pistons on all the Cars I've worked on have just 2 Slots/Holes for a Piston Tool. Even If there was an application where the Piston did actually have 4 Slots/Holes, a Piston Tool with just 2 diagonal Pins on the Cube face would work just fine. There is no need for a quantity of 4 Pins on any face of this Cube.
So I ended up milling 2 of the 4 Pins off the face of the Cube and then it fit the Piston.
A Minor issue is the Tool is very soft (it easily dents/deforms) and too much pressure is needed to drive the Cube with a ratchet. I hold the Cube on the caliper and compress it against the Piston with a C-Clamp then insert a screwdriver through the 3/8" drive openings to turn the Cube and spin the Brake Piston back into the caliper. The pins on the Cube dent easily and the screwdriver deforms the square openings on the Cube. No big deal.
In the end this is a very good universal Piston Tool, it is inexpensive, and it will work for a few Brake Jobs.

 Piston RetractorAug 13, 2012
By Ken
I was tired of paying big bucks to change the rear breaks on my 1999 Infiniti G-20, all because I needed a special tool which I did not have. I looked the part up on Amazon and it cost about $5. It was simple to use and well worth the price. It worked fine on my car and I can enjoy many future uses, it will probably outlast my car.

If You Need It, You Need ItJul 19, 2012
By G. Roberts
I bought this because my wife has a 2008 Honda that uses the sort of brake caliper that you can't compress with a c-clamp. The caliper must be turned clockwise to screw it back in when changing brake pads. If you don't have this tool you just have to improvise. As cheap as this is, if you do your own brakes I highly recommend the proper tool.

 made of soft metal, essentially uselessFeb 12, 2012
By Bob
Added pictures of the damage after 30 minutes of use (on one brake piston). I would not recommend this tool. There may be other versions made of harder metal, but this seems soft enough to be aluminum

Worked greatDec 13, 2011
By Erick Sandoval
"erf"
i used this tool on my 1992 honda prelude for the rear brakes... all though i had just put new brake calipers a year or two ago on my car and when using this tool to push the brake caliber piston back into place it went in smoothly. the TEkTON tool did not brake or deform on me. i will do the front brakes soon and that should require a little more elbow greece since that caliber has been on the car since it was made.. but for now this was a great tool.
