Shimano Hydraulic Brake Version of This?
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.

Got to love Pogacar, always diplomatic and sensible. Not in his racing style though.

Thank you all for your help. Sorry for not replying sooner, I had subbed to this thread, but didn't receive any notifications.
Mark1a. That's good idea.
OnYerBike. I have a similar one by another brand.
Sriracha. I'll try that.
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.
Perusing his site, he does makes an interesting loft ladder hook and key.
Something like this? https://www.parktool.com/product/hydraulic-brake-piston-press-pp-1-2
Apparently not:
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.
