I recently bought a Private Brand Tools (PBT70915) 4 in 1 Brake Pad Spreader. I used it to change the pads and to flush my Stoptech brakes. I am very satisfied with this tool. It worked very well and the quality is top notch.

This tool works on both fixed and floating calipers. It has heavy duty steel plates to push all four pistons in simultaneously. The plates rotate 180 degrees so you can position the handle for maximum clearance.

This tool allows me to spread the brake pistons completely in seconds. I am able to use it to hold the pads in place while each caliper is removed from the mounting bracket for vertical bleeding. After bleeding, I can easily remount the caliper and the pads as a single unit onto the bracket. I don’t need to remove the mounting bracket and that makes bleeding much quicker.

This tool is much cheaper than the GiroDisc tool and it serves the same purpose. You can search the video on Youtube to see this tool in action. I think this is a must have for anyone who works on brakes.
