i haven't used that one. i have this lisle spreader and i'm not impressed with it. i wouldn't buy it knowing what i now know. the ratcheting function sticks and i have to force it quite often and its super annoying.

I used this one on my Stoptech BBK

It’s works fine even has a 1/2 drive insert so you can put a ratchet directly on it

I was also not impressed with the Lisle one. Didn't work worth a shit on my StopTech kit.

I used the lisle one for one caliper, and realized a c-clamp works better lol.
