Orion Motor Tech 17pc Drum Brake Tool Kit — 17-piece set with spring compressors and 8 adjusting spoons

If you work on drum brakes—whether for routine maintenance, part replacement, or a full brake service—having the right tools speeds the job and reduces the risk of damaging springs, shoes, or backing plates. The OMT 17pc Drum Brake Tool Kit bundles heavy-duty spring compressors, multiple adjusting spoons, specialty pliers, and useful service extras so both DIY mechanics and professional techs can complete drum brake jobs with confidence.

What tools are included and what do they do?

This kit brings together 17 purpose-made pieces to cover most drum brake tasks. It includes two spring compressors, a dual-end spring pliers, eight adjusting spoons in assorted sizes, a remover/installer tool, a bleeder hose, and a disc brake lining gauge for added versatility.

• Two spring compressors: compress return springs safely for removal and installation.
• Dual-end spring pliers: one notched jaw for installing springs, socket end for removal.
• Eight adjusting spoons: range of sizes to engage adjuster stars and access tight spots.
• Remover/installer and bleeder hose: simplify shoe fitment and brake bleeding tasks.

How does this kit protect brake parts during service?

Tools forged from quality 1045 and 5140 steel with protective zinc plating and a black coating are engineered to minimize marring and distortion. The pliers’ notched jaw and the shaped spoons let you manipulate springs and adjusters without levering against delicate surfaces.

• Forged construction prevents bending under load during spring work.
• Shaped spoon edges reduce slipping and avoid gouging shoe material.
• Coated finishes resist corrosion so tools stay reliable over repeated use.
• Specialized plier ends let you install and remove springs without prying on the anchor points.

Which vehicles and jobs is this kit compatible with?

The varied spoon sizes and universal spring tools make the kit suitable for many domestic and import drum systems. It’s commonly used on light-duty passenger cars and some trucks—brands such as Chevrolet, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Mazda are supported—covering tasks from adjuster service to full shoe replacement.

• Eight adjusting spoons fit a wide variety of star adjusters and access angles.
• Spring compressors handle multiple spring diameters found on common passenger vehicles.
• Remover/installer tool speeds shoe seating and replacement procedures.
• Disc brake lining gauge doubles as a quick thickness check when servicing mixed brake systems.

What build quality and durability can I expect?

Orion Motor Tech designed the set for frequent shop use: the alloy steels chosen offer high tensile strength and the surface treatments extend service life. Each piece is intended to resist the wear and impact of spring work and repeated installation cycles.

• 1045 and 5140 steel composition for toughness and fatigue resistance.
• Zinc plating and black coating protect against rust in humid or oily shop environments.
• Robust jaw openings (6.7" on pliers) accommodate larger cables and springs without overstress.
• Ergonomic shaping for controlled leverage and reduced hand fatigue.

Who is this for: The OMT 17pc Drum Brake Tool Kit is aimed at DIY enthusiasts who prefer a professional-level toolset, mobile mechanics needing a portable, comprehensive drum brake solution, and small shops that service older or mixed brake systems. It’s ideal when you need reliable spring handling, a range of adjuster tools, and corrosion-resistant construction to keep brake work fast, safe, and repeatable.
