Since you are looking at this item, you clearly use disc brakes. If you use hydraulic brakes, you know that sometimes the pistons don't come out straight. They sometimes come out top first or just slightly slanted.This uneven application will cause uneven break pad wear and reduce the overall life of your brake pads since one side/edge will be worn out before the rest of the pad.This tool is great not only at spreading the pads and pistons without having to remove the brake pads. But it is fantastic at straightening the pistons if they don't come out evenly.Pros:- Good Value, priced about right for a simple tool- Good for spreading pads- Even better at straightening and aligning pistons- No need to remove brake pads for serviceCons:- The whole tool is the same thickness as a rotor, which is fairly thing. If you apply too much force, it will bend
