BRAKE CALIPER PRESS - Lang

The Lang 279P Brake Caliper Press is a professional-grade automotive tool engineered to streamline disc brake service for technicians and mechanics. This robust caliper piston compressor facilitates the safe and efficient retraction of brake caliper pistons, which is crucial for brake pad replacement and comprehensive brake maintenance. Its precise design ensures even force application, protecting vital brake components from damage.

Key Features

• Broad Caliper Compatibility: Designed to work seamlessly with a wide range of brake calipers, including single, dual, and quad-piston fixed calipers, as well as single and twin-piston floating calipers, making it a versatile solution for various vehicle types.
• Even Force Distribution: The centrally located ratchet mechanism applies parallel, even pressure to the pistons, effectively preventing misalignment and potential damage to the caliper or piston boots during retraction.
• Enhanced Accessibility: Features a 360-degree ratchet swing, allowing technicians to position the tool optimally in confined spaces and at virtually any angle for superior access and ease of use.
• Effortless Operation: An extended reversing lever enables quick and simple switching between the spreading function (for retracting pistons) and the retracting function (for closing the press), thereby saving valuable time and effort during brake jobs.
• Professional-Grade Construction: Manufactured in the USA, this brake caliper press is built for durability and repeated use in demanding shop environments, reflecting Lang's commitment to quality tools.

Applications

This essential automotive tool is indispensable for brake pad replacement across a diverse fleet, from passenger cars to light trucks and some commercial vehicles. It precisely retracts disc brake pistons, preparing the caliper to accommodate new, thicker brake pads and ensuring proper brake function. The Lang 279P is a critical component for any professional undertaking brake system maintenance, preventing costly damage often associated with improvised tools like C-clamps.
