10 PC BRAKE TOOL SET-GRN HNDL

If so, do you like it? Thinking about picking this up next time the Matco truck comes by, even with the (in my opinion) high price.

i have the same kit under the mac name. its alright. if you wanna do it right just get the top 2 handles and thee bottom handle. i used the other one today for the first time to push a connector onto an alternator below a tribute.

get a couple snap on brake spoons. they are the best ever and i use them all day long on everything. they are perfect leverage bars for hub caps, center caps, compressing brake calipers before removal, prying off alternators, pushing slides out of brake calipers, etc.

Definitely going to be in the market for those two when I get some more $$ I can spend on tools, slowly working my way up to everything I need lol.

I have it. In green too. Got it from eBay for around $75. It is nice. Made in tiawan.

drum brakes are the dirtyest part of a car. Rubber handles are hard to clean.

I would look for a cheaper set with solid plastic handles. I spent 5 years doing brakes almost every day and I never needed that many brake tools. I used the $20 craftsman kit, with the addition of a needle nose vicegrips. Nothing works better for getting tough springs on than the vicegrips.

I like that wear gauge. I'd probably never actually use it myself, but I like it. Real cut and dry.
