If you get that little “I really shouldn’t use a big flathead screwdriver for this” feeling every time you use a big flathead screwdriver to reset your brakes, and you have 4-piston brakes, this one’s for you.
The new absoluteBLACK MTB 4-Pot Brake Piston Press Tool slides into your calipers (with the pads removed) to quickly and evenly press the pistons back to a neutral position. This lets you reinstall the pads with plenty of space for new (or any) rotors, then squeeze your brake lever to advance them to the right position.
The tool applies even pressure across all pistons simultaneously, making the job both precise and quick. And it avoids risking damage from using sharp, poky tools that could nick ceramic pistons or seals.
Just slide it into the opening (top or bottom, you likely don’t even need to remove the caliper from the bike) and twist the screw on the top to expand the plates and press your pistons back into the calipers.
It’s made from carbon-fiber–reinforced polymer with titanium hardware and weighs just 13.5g, so you won’t even notice it in your tool bag. MSRP is $40.95, available now. They also have a two-piston version for XC, gravel, and road bike brakes.
