Default Poll: best rear brake tool?
A quick DIY survey question... Background: For rear calipers with the press/turn to retract the calipers (like on my Gen 1 S40), I've noted there's a range of tools available. Which tool do you use and recommend?

Oh my, I always end up trying to use a pair of needle nose pliers opened to fit the little divots. It's always risky and I never seem to remember to buy the correct tool. So I too am interested in what people use.

I have the Astro Pneumatic 7860:

I've used it on my Volvos and several other makes.

Harbor freight has one similar.
