What tool are you using for the rear calipers?

I need to get a caliper compression tool for the rear calipers. I want to make sure I get the right one before I start working on the rear brakes. What do you guys have? Does anyone have a picture of what the rear caliper piston face looks like? I want to make sure the tool I get fits properly with out calipers. Thanks.

I've seen this one recommended and it's pretty reasonable. It's what I plan on buying.

A kit just like Harbor Freight is available from Advance Autoparts too.
Check out shipping and compare for best total cost. Advance ordered mine and had it in a day or 2.

FTW? I paid $20 for my set with a single driver. Two round trips to pick up, then return the tool costs you more than that in gas, let alone your time.
