I did the A8 upgrade last weekend and used a giant C clamp and a flat file. I layed the file along the new brake pad to distribute the pressure and to also protect the new pad surface. Worked like a champ.

Harbor Freight...usually on sale for $20 ($10 shipping).
It comes with adaptors so you can use it on most cars (if you plan on helping friends/family). I've already used mine on two different makes, so it's paid for itself.
