I think your right. I spent almost $200 on mine and the only time I use that tool is when the components are hot.

If it's not hot down there I usually just pull one pad out half way and use it as a lever to push the pistons back. Just do one pad at a time or all you're doing is squezing in one side while the other extends back out.
