  1. Stephen


    Really worked well. Much better than a screwdriver and allows more room to access the slot on the backside of the hub.

  2. Dan Carver


    There’s not much to say about this tool as it is pretty simple but it works great and is made to do its purpose. It was much cheaper on RV than going to a local auto parts store so I recommend getting through RV.

  3. Mr. Mom


    Worked nicely to adjust Dexter electric trailer brakes.

  4. Henry


    The tool i needed

  5. subzerolv


    You can accomplish the same thing with a flat blade screwdriver but this tool is inexpensive enough to make it worthwhile. I keep it in my toolbox that stays in my travel trailer. Makes brake adjustment a breeze.

  6. DAVID MARTINEZ


    Dulls very quick

  7. FiestyBerry


    One of those odd tools that you have to have around. Much better than a screwdriver. Fits in the adjustment hole in Dexter trailer axels, Chevy one ton rears and any Dana 44 drum brake axel out there.For years I used a screwdriver for this task, no longer. The proper tool saves time.

  8. Rigoberto Guedez


    No muy bien se ajusta a la mano, y realiza muy bien el trabajo para lo que uno lo necesita

  9. Thomas Fletcher


    Good tool for my trailer brakes. Better than a screwdriver

  10. Javier


    Muy bueno

  11. doler otrey


    Worked but after adjusting brake on three vehicles tool edge was rounded and slipped

  12. Dds


    Exactly as advertised

  13. Dave


    This works fine but I wish it was a bit smaller.The end that goes into the brake adjuster works but I ended up banging into other suspension components on my WK2 grand Cherokee with the other end. Not very usefull ont his vehicle but I will keep it for the future.

  14. Amazon Customer


    A must have for old drum brakes

  15. Elizabeth M.


    quite thin. It may work OK but feel flimsy.

  16. Rgoo


    It is a good tool but it slips like a fish.

  17. Tracy Mobley


    Brake spoons are never easy to use. Anyone that’s ever done it can agree. It does what it suppose to do. I believe the older spoons had a curve in end of the blade if memory serves.

  18. Buster


    could not find my old ones , works grate

  19. Luke with OTFRV


    This adjustment tool is an upgrade to some of the cheaper alternatives, for a minimal price difference. Feels much better/more solid in hand, and works just fine.
