I thought everyone used the $9 KD Tools cube.  Who would have known
there would be such a polychotomy among brake caliper enthusiasts?

Well, around $95, at least when I bought it a year or so ago.  So, yes
it's pricey, but very nice and is a snap to use.  Though had I seen the
Metalnerd or some of the other varieties I might have gone that route
and saved $50.  I've done about 10 sets of brakes with it between my car
and other local audi/vw folk.  Hmmm, I should've charged $10 a pop and
it wouldn't have cost me anything...
