Looks good, though I don't know what new ones go for.

I think you got a pretty decent deal i think they are 15 brand new but not positive.

ya thats a good deal. I paid I think 17.99 plus tax. Look a little different though I think. The spring remover on mine is black. No idea if that affects performance

Is the black plastic?

The new ones aren't made in the USA anymore, I don't think. I looked at them recently. If memory serves, they're now made in Taiwan.

This one is heavy duty. Thick metal and heavy

The one I got I bought in 1967..........still use 'em. They will probably out live me...Lol

they are a glut on the used market as more and more cars go to 4 wheel disc brakes, but They are still cool to have. I seem to buy them whenever I see then cheap enough, I have 6 or 8 or ten pairs...

I don't think you got taken at all, but if keep your eyes open I've gotten them for as low a a buck each.

It's interesting the different features one make has to another at times.

Throw that junk away and find yourself a PROTO 216 brake tool.

they are good; if you do rear brakes
ive used mine for the 2 or 3 years with good results

I have one of those---works well

I still get 4 wheel drum brake trucks in my shop...even some without self adjusters on 'em

 

[Desertskyy]

I have the same one

Bought it many years ago, paid about $20.00 I think

I still have an old Ford Ranger with rear drum brakes so it gets used every once in a while
