 Worked great Dec 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.
 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 okay Oct 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.
 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.
Rear brake piston - Maxima/I30 Apr 04, 2011
By Mike S
"KilJim"
Simple design, worked for my 2000 Maxima/I30
My piston was partly siezed (maybe on its way out) so it took a lot of strength to push the cube inwards while rotating. If yours is fine you shouldn't have a problem
This is the cheapest option if you can't rotate the piston with a pair of pliers
