Thank you, my guy! I don't know how many flipping videos I went through trying to get mine to work. Turns out the person that gave it to me broke it. I appreciate the rundown on how the tool actually works

Got the same one for Christmas this year. Going to be using it a lot at work. Used Cornwell, Snap-On and they are pretty much the exact same. Wouldn't be surprised if they all were just made at the same place with different rubber handles for the company logo.

Aaron J...looks like Santa was very good to you this Christmas :) You can never have enough tools. I agree, they just change the handle cover.

I'm just ordering this tool now and this vid helped me make up my mind. Thanks! I'm guessing the o-ring is to seal off the threads keeping grease in and dirt out when closed up for storage.

I got something similar but less complex at the advanced auto it’s a magentic nut and bolt in the middle with the use of a 3/4 wrench you just adjust the nut and it backs off the bolt causing it to spread open. Was like $12 and works like a charm

This one is rebranded made for the tool truck brands including Napa.Make it for Snap On under the Blue Point brand name.Make it for Mac tools also.I have found one brake pad has to be in place in some applications,one was a 2011 Ford F150 4x4

Thank you for that information Walter.

They look the same,only differences are the color of the handle and part number.

If you use an old pad you can extend the maximum Spreading distance for larger vehicles.

@@starastronomer yeah, a big disappointment. I tried already with the other tool that uses the old brake pad and you turn the knob (ship steering wheel type), but it’s just too hard. A friend that’s helping went to the store to get a C-clamp and we’re gonna try with that.
