Ok...so I've got the custom kit (two different plates and an adapter for the
rotating pistons - imports). ;)
But look at it this way (and Jon is right):
Heavy Duty/High Quality Screwdriver Store purchased - $5.00
Brake Piston Compressor (standard screw/wheel/plate) - $5.00

The right tool works better...it's a small price to pay to do it the right
way. :)

I'm on a text based connection right now so I can't look up the URL, but
if you aren't in a hurry I believe you can get
them for around $3 at Harbor Freight (www.harborfreight.com) and I think I
have seen them in places like Autozone for
around $5. I might be mistaken on the Autozone ones though,
if they really are $15, go for the Harbor Freight deal or
make your own out of some scrap metal and threaded rod!
