Caliper Hooks
Pro-grade tools for clean flares and stubborn, rusted fittings.
Caliper hooks hang a brake caliper safely out of the way while you work, so it isn't dangling from the hose. That protects the rubber line from stretching or tearing and keeps both your hands free for the pads and rotor.

Why you need them
Letting a caliper hang by its hose is one of the quiet ways a good brake hose gets ruined -- the weight stresses the line and its fittings. A hook takes seconds to use and saves you from replacing a brake hose you didn't need to. Keep a pair in the kit for every pad and rotor job.
