Blade thickness
1.95 mm
Choose by the contact profile
Compare the rotor-like section with the thicker PP-1.2 wedge against the actual service requirement.
What this choice changes
A rotor-section profile for the stated service role
The PS-1 uses a tapered, rotor-like blade for the pad-spreading and temporary rotor-substitute operations described by Park Tool. Its 1.95 mm blade thickness is the key contact difference from the PP-1.2’s 3.2 mm wedge. Choose the profile required by the brake’s service instructions rather than treating the tools as two handle styles for the same opening.
The maker specifies a 162 mm overall length and a vinyl-dipped handle. Its temporary stand-in role can be relevant during the hydraulic checks described by Park Tool, but it does not make the tool a universal bleed block or establish compatibility with every caliper and piston material.
Compare the PP-1.2 when its specific wedge dimensions and permitted caliper scope match the job. Neither tool supplies a brake system, hose fittings or fluid. The PS-1 is a manual hand tool; its role comes from the blade contact, not a powered adjustment mechanism.

Choose for your actual setup
Choose by the contact profile
Compare the rotor-like section with the thicker PP-1.2 wedge against the actual service requirement.
Keep substitute scope specific
Use the brake maker’s instructions to establish whether this temporary contact is suitable for that service.
Fit checks & limits
- Maker describes stainless steel while the selected structured material field says aluminum; material remains unresolved.
- Not a universal bleed block or ceramic-piston compatibility claim.
Questions before you choose
Is it the same contact as PP-1.2?
No. PS-1 has a 1.95 mm rotor-section-style blade; PP-1.2 has a 3.2 mm wedge and a different stated scope.
Does the temporary rotor role replace every bleed block?
No. Use the exact brake service instructions to select the required contact.
Do I need both PS-1 and PP-1.2?
They overlap in pad service but use different blade profiles. Choose the contact and temporary-substitute role required by the actual brake instructions; buying both is not automatically necessary.
