 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.

 Terrible Product. Do NOT Buy!Oct 23, 2011
By Crezno
I bought this tool for what looked like versatility. However, on my very first attempt to the the tool, it broke. It is made of the cheapest material i have seen. Its very Die-Cast type alloy.
I was using a very small ratchet with this, and I put about 8-10 pounds of force on it and the tabs just busted right off.
This is a very poor product, there is no way it could have even budged my piston.
Look for another one made of steel.

 It's okayOct 10, 2011

This is only heat treated die cast zinc but covered by a lifetime warrantee (Limited to proper use).
As such it should last okay, however don't abuse it, if the piston is that stuck your going to need to do the calliper anyway.
 Great little tool.Mar 26, 2012

This tool made changing by rear disk brake pads so much easier. It fit my 02 Nissan Maxima. I had no problem getting the piston to turn using a extension bar and ratchet. If you piston is hard to turn or too far out then you might need to use the retractor kit that can be rented at your local auto parts store. Nice tool to have around, much easier than the kit. Don't forget to bleed your brakes when retracting the piston, or you may damage your master cylinder.
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
