Press or rewind — and an electric parking brake changes the answer · review
The trade brand’s basic set: both spindles, fewer adapters, and a part number that will still exist when a plate goes missing.
The last word Fewer pieces, better provenance. Check the adapter for your car before choosing it.
A basic brake piston rewind set with a right-hand and a left-hand threaded spindle, from a workshop tool catalog.
Replaceability. The adapter that fits your car is the one that will go missing, and a catalog reference is what makes replacing it possible.
Coverage. A 22-piece kit at the same price has more adapters, and on an unfamiliar car more adapters is more likely to include yours.
Two spindles, and the same rule about electronic parking brakes.
On sale at around $72 on the American Amazon store at the time of checking.

If it has the adapter for your car, yes — the extra pieces in larger kits are adapters for other cars. If you work on one or two vehicles, the question is coverage for those, not total count.
Because adapters get lost. A trade reference means the missing piece can be ordered; a marketplace kit usually means buying the whole set again.
At $72, it is the 4 cheapest of the 4 models in this category published here.

Ratchet function · centered reset without tilting · stated to avoid damage to boots, pistons and cylinders
A single ratcheting tool rather than a kit: it pushes the piston back squarely, which is what prevents the damage a screwdriver causes.
Best for: Front calipers, where the piston presses straight back and squareness is everything.
≈ $53
22 pieces · 18 adapters · right- and left-hand spindles · stated compatible with a wide range of vehicles
The same 22-piece format with both spindles, from a brand that appears across this site — the practical alternative at the same price.
Best for: The same job as its twin — choose on price and availability.
22 pieces · 18 adapters · right- and left-hand threaded spindles · stated for most passenger cars
Eighteen adapters and both thread directions, which is what a rewind set has to have — rear calipers thread back, and not all of them the same way.
Best for: A first rear pad change on a car with a conventional handbrake.
≈ $20
