Reviews for Performance Tool W175 Brake Spring Pliers

Works great

Necessary tool. Worked well.

Works as advertised.

Ok for return spring removal, but the tool for installing the hold-down spring doesn't fit the caps, and the tool for reinstalling a new, tight return spring isn't formed right -- the groove is too narrow so it can't get a sufficiently solid grip on the pin to allow the spring to snap into place, instead it just slips off the pin. Better tools have more of a hook on that end to help you secure the arm to the pin while you put leverage on the return spring. Ultimately a small waste since I had to buy a better tool.
