Customers are dissatisfied with the ratchet mechanism of the auto accessory. They mention that it sucks really bad, it's difficult to ratchetet, and it won't stay engaged on its own. The ratchit mechanism could be a little more precise, and the caliper or your hand it wont ratch out or in. The magnets are weak and the action is sketchy.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
First disappointing part, the "smaller" pad set that is on the tool (without the magnet extensions) was too long to fit between the caliper pad area.
I had to dremel off approx. a quarter inch of metal on each side, wasting about 3 dremel metal cutting disks which unfortunately cost about 3 bucks a piece, so...about $10 wasted into correcting the dimensions on this tool.
After that, you quickly realize that there's no way to use the tool with the caliper mounted, so you will have to remove it no matter what, not useful at all for just swapping pads out.
Additionally, ratcheted open to full capacity, the tool doesnt spread far enough, and one side just falls off, so you have to put one or 2 pads back in, then squeeze the metal pad area on the tool to create enough friction for it to expand again.
Basically, this will likely work in a pinch, but it really is poorly designed and cheap and a knockoff of a similar ratcheting design from performance tool for twice the price.
The only positive to this is it did work, and on the rear smaller calipers, you can turn the metal pads on the tool sideways to make it fit on the dual piston rear brembro calipers to spread them as well.
I dont think this will last long term as the metal pads are already starting to curve just from using them 1 time on a full brake job. I will likely end up returning it and just coughing the money up for the more expensive Lisle quad piston spreader instead.
