I used to use two feeler gauges to adjust my brake clearance. This tool makes it way easier.

I got tired of eyeballing my brake calipers when adjusting my brakes and bought this. This brake adjustment tool is longer than a regular one and makes it easier to feed through the calipers for adjustment. Best bang for your buck!

But the caliper not so much, I still need to apply the right amount of pressure on one side when lightly tightening down.

You are adjusting your calipers after replacing the pads or similar. You've already pushed the pistons back in to reset them. So, you get the wheel rotating, slowly apply brake pressure until it stops, then keep the handle depressed while you tighten down the adjusting bolts that hold the caliper to the frame. Your brakes are now properly centered and adjusted pretty nicely tight, as they should be. But wait, let's put a spacer on either side of the brake disc...why? All you get is the same result with a little more space around the disc when you are done and brakes that require more "squeeze" to get the contact you need. I guess if you had warped or unevenly worn discs this would help but, seriously, who wants that? If that's a deal for you, go get a couple popsicle sticks, fold up some paper, use a feeler gauge... I dunno, but this seems kinda silly.

Great tool, a must have, but the instructions on the other hand have room for improvement. For starters, you do not need to completely take off the brake caliper like the instructions show. All you do is loosen the caliper bolts so that it can move freely and no more than that. Then put the adjustment tool on the rotor and rotate the wheel until the tool is positioned in between the brake pads and rotor. If you feel resistance or snagging, wiggle the caliper around until the tool can be rotated into position. The instructions say to then press the brake repeatedly. What you actually want to do is hold the brake or have someone or something hold it as you tighten the caliper bolts evenly and in small increments. Once tight, let off the brake and test to see if there is any rubbing. If done correctly, you will have a perfectly centered caliper in the end.
