I notice there are a few on the market and don't want to get halfway through a job and realise I haven't got the correct one, could someone point me in the right direction please?

even with a trade card your wouldn't get it at half price as is the amazon one would you ?

isnt a trade card just minus the VAT if so the halfords one is still gonna cost £26.39 over £10 more then amazon for the same thing.

There discount for trade is good but it varies a lot, I think once they had some bulbs up for £2 retail with a trade card it came out at 60p, for tools I think to get 50% off would be unusual!

I borrowed one from a mobile machanic n it wouldnt go in as the piston was to far out so dished out for the halfrauds one cant complain it worked and my handbrakes only a few clicks still.

The main difference was the plate that holds it against the caliper the halford one slid off and on making it easier to get into place.
