what did he mean by this?

>>29050235
I love Chinese tools. Go for it, especially at that price.
>>
>>29050235
I've been using the OMT one from Amazon professionally for years and it's held up.
>>
>>29050235
They're good if you're gonna use them once. But for that thing just do yourself a favor and just buy the cheapo plastic manual handle turn brake caliper compressors like pic related.
>>
>>29050253
I'd rather spend $19 on OP's than $7 on that piece of shit tool
>>
>>29050235
Yes, good enough.
>>
>>29050235
professionally? no
but for the average home mechanic that's just gonna work on his own vehicles it's good enough.
>>
no. every product made in china will shatter after one use. buy snap on or nothing

>>29050500
this. if you're going to be using it a lot, buy something slightly better than bottom of the barrel amazon/autozone trash, or buy the chinkshit until it breaks
>>
Its ok
Good Cclamps are better
>>
>>29050255
i have ops set and bent the wimpy handle.
the set looks like high quality tooling, but its weak steel with a clear coat and no heat treatment
ffs its less than a dollar per part
>>
>>29050253
Or just use the old brake pads and a C clamp.
>>
>>29050549
how much do you owe the tool truck desu
>>
>>29050637
>can't into sarcasm
nigga pls
>>
>>29050247
>what did he mean by this?

meh, ive been using similar cheap china crap tool at my shop for the last 6-7 years with no issue, granted i dont live in a rust state so its never too hard to turn the pistons. not paying snap on 150 for their set
>>29050253
not going to help for shit on calipers that have a threaded piston
>>
Just buy the harbor freight kits, at least you can swap them out for free if they break.
