Does anyone know if there’s a version of this https://road.cc/content/review/r3pro-piston-release-tool-292171 available for Shimano Hydraulic Brakes (BR-R7070)?

I’m currently having to use needle nose pliers to hold back a piston whilst cleaning the other, but it can chip the paint.
I would make my own, but don’t have a Milling Machine in my garage.

Thank you.

Mark1a. That’s good idea.
OnYerBike. I have a similar one by another brand.
Sriracha. I’ll try that.

That would be for shoving
That would be for shoving them both back fully home when fitting new pads. I think the OP wants to hold one back whilst allowing the other to push outwards for cleaning. I’d try using a lolly stick, or micky something up in wood or plastic.

Apparently not:

NOTE: Wedge-style piston tools, such as the PP-1.2, are not intended for use with ceramic pistons in Shimano® road disc brake calipers.

Contact r3pro themselves

Contact r3pro themselves https://www.r3pro.co.uk/ appears to be run by somebody called Phil who makes a multitude of stuff using 3D printing, ideal for low volume. They sell a lot of other disc brake caliper/piston accessories so they may be open to a Shimano piston block.
