Fresh Goods Sunday - Park Tool PP-1.2 Disc brake piston press


After years of replacing disc pads and pushing pitons back in place it was time to buy a proper tool to carry out the job. As i have found if you are not careful when you are pushing pistons back into the caliper they can jamb / go in unevenly with possible leakage from the seals. The PP1.2 has a thin shaped wide blade which is ideal for the job. The handle is the same as there screwdrivers with grippy sections. The tool should see pad replacements made easier for many more years to come. Here is the tech info from Parktool. The £25 rrp is high but the quality is there. When this model first come out a few years ago it was the rpp that put me off from buying it but when i seen it advertised for £13.55 inc delivery i gave in and bought one.
