No it's called a rear disc brake caliper tool, seriously.
Most large autopart stores will sell you one for 30bucks, I got mine from Tommy's Auto but you can also get one at Sears.
It's a multi-sides square tool and it works with a socket wrench. Keeps you from slipping and tearing the boot on the caliper.

2 years ago I needed a socket wrench with a hole through the head to allow me to insert an allen key or take a nut off of an infinately long lag bolt...
...it took until now for someone to make that rachet...I needed to stick a socket in a hole and hold a bolt and tighten an allen key. We had to get out the welder to make a hill billy socket for the job.



Fronts require a c-clamp or similiar, fyi, but the rears do not because of the mechanical parking brake.
