Their shipping sucks?
Is that model any good? I don't want a PITA one...
I had a friend in Germany check for a retraction tool. It's almost $100. It comes with adaptors for at least 10 different cars, though...

It's fine!
I don't have any complaints with it...it doesn't bear the snap on name, but it's a simplistic tool. Worse case, it may rust over time, but if you clean it and coat it with some WD 40, you won't have a problem with it rusting out on you. If you have an autozone near you, see how much they charge for the tool, otherwise, just buy it from HF.

As far as we're talking about the front pistons - I bought mine at Sears last night for $9.95. They also have a "heavy duty" edition for $19.95; not worth it, IMO.
You need a different, more expensive tool for the rears. I haven't done those (yet).
