An indispensable tool for any cyclist or mechanic performing maintenance on hydraulic brakes. The PS-1 pad spreader features a tapered edge designed to separate and reposition hydraulic bicycle brake pads that may have been accidentally actuated. The head of the PS-1 replicates a section of the brake disc, with a robust stainless steel construction and a long vinyl-coated handle for leverage and comfort. The PS-1 can also be used as a temporary disc replacement during hydraulic system testing or maintenance, eliminating the need to repeatedly remove and reinstall the wheel.
