Mine was just delivered. Thanks Brian! This will make life easier. No more chasing down neighbors and talking them into pressing on the break pedal for me. Appreciate you sharing this!

Got my "braker" bar! Great product! Mine was built a little longer because I always put my seat back when I get out of the car. Works very well and easy to use. No more calling the wife out to help with wheel changes... Thanks, Brian!

I got mine too. I haven't used it but it seems like it will make the job easier than when I used the other brake pedal bar. Thanks Brian!

Used mine last week and it was perfect. Thanks Brian! Oh, just remember to put the cap back on your brake fluid reservoir if you have just changed pads. 'Nuf said!

Great tool.

Why take the cap off?

This tool works great.

What do you guys use to push those little side release things with to get the bar off? I just hit them with a screw driver but was wonder what everybody else does. Thanks!

No need to hit the release. Simply pull the "trigger" and push the ratchet handle all the way forward (toward the extension piece on the brake pedal) to release the tension and retract the extension bar.

To help get the caliper pistons compressed when putting in new pads. Then, when putting wheels back on, and using bar to compress brake--if one forgets to put the reservoir cap back on--you guessed it--brake fluid to be cleaned up!

Thank you all again for the orders. I have managed to catch up with the orders and have a few left from my current batch of Braker Bars. Drop me a note if you would like one of the remaining Braker Bars that are ready to ship out tomorrow
