Park Tool PP-1.2 Brake Piston Info
The Park Tool PP-1.2 Brake Piston Press is a straightforward tool that solves a frustrating problem — retracted pistons that won't stay back while you fit new brake pads. Designed for use with hydraulic disc brakes, it spreads the pistons apart to open up the caliper gap, giving you the clearance needed to slot a fresh rotor or new pad set into place without a struggle. The dual-density handle is built for a secure grip, even with oily hands in the middle of a service job.
One important note: the PP-1.2 is not intended for use with ceramic brake calipers. For standard metallic-piston hydraulic disc systems, it handles the job cleanly and without risk of damaging caliper internals — a tool worth keeping on the bench any time disc brake maintenance is on the agenda.
