Does anyone happen to have a source for decent brake pad spreader?

The one that KarlFranz uses is just what I'm looking for, but as far as I can tell you can only get them in the States.

Did you try searching on Amazon? That's how I got the one you pictured.

The picture of the pad spreader looks very similar to one we use at work made by Sykes-Pickavant. You should be able to source one from a decent motor factor. I would recommend one of the bigger national chains such as Unipart or Andrew Page - dont bother with the likes of Halfords as they will only have 'mickey-mouse' ones and not be up to the quality of a Sykes one. Seeem to remember they are about 45/50 quid ish. Just thought - Sealey may do one but again not the quality of a Sykes one.
Hope this helps
