Frequently Asked Questions:

1. Can this tool be used on front brake calipers?
   It's specifically designed for front or rear calipers that require a screw-in action.

2. Does it fit all vehicles?
   It fits the majority of vehicles with right hand twist-type rear caliper pistons but not all. Check your vehicle's service manual for tool compatibility.

3. Is this tool suitable for both left and right-hand threaded pistons?
   For use on disc-brake calipers with right-hand thread.

4. Is any additional equipment needed to use this?
   No other tools are needed for basic operation, but having a full brake caliper tool kit may improve compatibility with all car models however these are more expensive.

5. What if the piston doesn’t rewind using this tool?
   Ensure the piston isn’t seized. Apply penetrating oil if needed, or seek professional assessment if excessive resistance is felt.

6. Can this be used in tight spaces?
   Yes, the compact form is designed for use in the confined space of rear brake assemblies.

7. Does this come with adapters for different piston patterns?
   This is a basic rewind tool. For multiple piston types, consider a full rewind kit.

8. Is this tool suitable for professional use?
   Yes, its durable construction makes it suitable for both home mechanics and garage environments.
