The ratcheting answer to pushed-back pistons. A 72-tooth reversible head needs only 5° of swing, so straight-push pistons retract smoothly even with the caliper hanging in a crowded knuckle. Click by click, the piston walks home square.

  • 72-tooth ratchet advances on a 5° swing arc
  • Compresses straight-push disc pistons evenly into the bore
  • Reversible drive backs off cleanly when seated
  • Compact head works inside the knuckle, caliper still hung

The ratcheting mechanism is easily my favorite feature. The 72-tooth ratchet only requires about 5 degrees of movement, which is extremely helpful when you're working inside a wheel well where there isn't much room to swing a handle. The reversible de…
