I have it too and I just stick one side in the rotor vains and the other side against the pad backing plate to get the leverage. It is too narrow to fit between both pads at the same time. The idea is good but it needs a longer screw.

I have one that looks identical.. from Princess Auto in Canada and was on sale ~$20.00 Cdn.

It works like a charm!!
Can't imagine spending upwards of $300.00 US to do the same thing....
