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.

Looks more like it is designed to keep the bike thieves in rather than out. That might in fact be a better solution.

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.
