NeilsenTools CT2301 Brake Pad Spreader

This is just what you need to get the breaks re-set for new pads going in... Well made, don't look like they will break to easy and should last a long time... Perfect for the job.

It carried out the task reqired

Does what it says

Did exactly what I needed it to do, makes the job so much easier.

I did not like this at all.I have replaced many pads and discs in my time.I would describe this as effectively useless…Not easy to use.Not functional - the black wings/ separators bend and thus do not expand the brakes/ push pistons back.Poor performance, value for money.

Good bit of kit, well constructed does the job required at a great price.

Not something that I can offer a great technical review on - it is what it is.Bigger than I imagined it might be..... And, bigger than necessary really, for bike pistons.But will do the job! And I can fall back to small G clamps, if I need something more 'subtle'.(I wonder if these could have been designed for use with cars, originally)I looked around a few different offerings of very similar products, before electing this specific item,as at the time of purchase it was the cheapest (through Amazon, at least)Your other option would be to fabricate something yourself - there's not a lot to them.Some threaded bar, locknuts, and a trip to your local steel merchants, should provide the necessary for a'Blue Peter' effort.

Great job in my eyes, one of guys in wk have snap on one and mine does same job and just as easy
