a simple screwdriver always works. not too big and not too small. just lay it in and twist clockwise you don't usually have to twist it in too much. i've never owned the actual tool (or even used it) to do the rear brakes, just used a screwdriver.
yup

i have that cube thing.... its a waste of $5-$10... i tried that once and then just went the easy route with the screwdriver

Sometimes the calipers are really wedged and a screwdriver wont do it. That's why I had to fab up a tool on my CNC to get the leverage I needed to compress the calipers.
