MADE IN JAPAN

Nut Grip, 3/8" Drive, SAE, Chrome Hand Socket Set.  

NUT GRIP® is Ko-ken's special design for non-magnetic nuts/bolts to be held firmly in a 6-point socket. The design consists of two balls held in place by a spring steel ring.

6-Piece premium Japanese-made set from VESSEL TOOLS, a brand founded in 1916 and renowned for precision screwdrivers, especially their JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) cross-point tips. 

Vessel is often credited as the originator of the JIS standard, and these drivers are optimized for Japanese fasteners (common in motorcycles, cars like Toyota/Honda/Nissan, electronics, cameras, and vintage imports) where standard Phillips tips can cam out or strip screws. The JIS profile fits more precisely into JIS recess screws, reducing damage while still working well on regular Phillips screws.

NUMBER BRK-J 

Disc Brake Piston Reset Tool / Brake Press Tool 

Very sturdy tool for the safe resetting of disc brake pistons on vehicles with fixed caliper disc brakes / for putting the pistons back into the housing.

Tool is approximately 2 5/8" height plate-to-plate (top to bottom).

Each plate is approx 6.5mm thick depth of tool front to back 

(inside) is 2 3/4 inches (69.85mm).

TESTIMONIAL: 

When I attempted to replace the front brake pads on a 2001 Mercedes S430, I discovered that my old Piston Reset Tool (the one everyone has in their garage, sold everywhere under different brands for less than $10) just could not do the job. This is because the S430, like many other cars, has Dual Piston, Fixed Caliper brakes, which require a different Reset Tool (sometimes referred to as a Brake Pad Spreader). 

When I went to Pep Boys, my salesman there told me that fixed calipers are a problem, and he did not have the tool for the job. I went to an independent parts store, which had a tool that had been hanging on their wall since 1979 (it looked like a miniature scissors jack with a long screw), but it could not have been inserted where it needed to be. NAPA had a catalog with a picture of something with a pistol grip on it that looked like it may or may not have worked. The Mercedes dealer can order a tool (MB # 000 589 52 43 00) for $250 that looks like it could be used 1,000 times before it breaks. The JO1 is more than sufficient.

Procedure was simple: 

I took the cap off of the master cylinder under the hood, then jacked up the car and removed the wheels. The calipers remained bolted to the car throughout the procedure (of course, if I was replacing the rotors also, I think I would have had to remove the calipers). After removing the retaining pin and spring from behind the pads, I inserted the Reset Tool arms between the small exposed edges of the backing plates on the brake pads. Then I turned the handle on the tool and the arms pushed away from each other and started pushing the brake pads away from the rotor. 

Once there was more space I put the arms of the tool against the face of the pads themselves and pushed the pads (and pistons) all the way back. The tools job was done; I then slid the old pads out, slid the now ones in, reinstalled the spring and pins and I was done (after checking fluid level and putting the cap back on the master cylinder).

I feel that I did receive a super tool which does the job perfectly and should last a DIY-er a long time. It does not take up much space in the tool box, and was also the least expensive option I found!
