The tool used for rear brake pistons is commonly referred to as a brake caliper tool or brake caliper piston tool. It is designed to compress the piston back into the caliper housing when replacing brake pads or servicing the brakes, especially for vehicles with rear disc brakes that have integrated parking brake systems. Some tools are specifically designed for certain vehicle makes and models, while others are universal.
