Very High Quality June 22, 2008

I purchased this kit to work on my 1994 Lincoln Mark VIII. It mentions in the description that this kit is for rear brake pistons that need to be turned to be pushed back, but it will work just fine with other types as well. An adapter is included to allow for this without damaging the pins.
The quality of this kit is top notch. Everything from the tool to the case is high quality. The latches and hinges on the case are sturdy and feel unlikely to break. The adapters fit well, and the magnet built into the end of the tool is powerful enough to hold things together, but not so powerful that you need to pry the pieces apart. The inclusion of instructions on the inside of the case lid is a nice touch.
I found this tool to be vastly superior to the AP kit I had before and the Harbor Freight kit that I have/had. I snapped the HF in half and bent the AP tool trying to push back one of the pistons in my car, while the K-D had no issues with the same piston. The price difference may be substantial, but the first time you can't get the cheaper tool to work and you need to walk to the parts store, it's money well spent.
Excellent Pro Quality Set May 18, 2009
John Dowdell
Bought this set primarily for use on VW cars. I had considered buying a caliper rewind tool from Metalnerd tools, who makes quality VW specific tools, but for not much more I bought this set, which gives me the ability to reset virtually any make of caliper.
Tool quality is excellent. All adapters are well machined. The screw press operates smoothly. The plastic case has durable hinges and latches.
Very good value for the money.

Worth Every Penny July 18, 2010

I wasn't sure I wanted to spend this much to get the tool(s) I needed to work on the rear brakes of my Chrysler mini-van. I saw other sets that were less, but this one had such great reviews, I decided to take the plunge.
All I can say is "wow!" The set is really made well. The components have a high degree of fit and finish, are a very solid steel and should last for many years with the appropriate care. Even the case is extremely well-made with real hinges and latches, not the "living" plastic ones that inevitably break after moderate usage. The latches secure the case very well. The molded wells for each component are clearly embossed with the sizes next to them and a guide label is affixed to the inside of the lid.
I'd definitely buy more tools from the people that made this set!
