I ended up having to put the old pads back in and nurse them all day. I think if you have two 5mm thick shims to use once the pistons are back half way then you could use this tool.

^ YES, very important to know.
When i first purchased the AP Kit and needed to swap pads I almost felt like I was bamboozled... thus making this thread of answers.
If you use the Lisel Quad Piston Tool alone inside the CP8350 caliper, just know the pistons will not sit entirely flush (2-3mm remaining). I ended up using x2 rear pads that were worn down as spacers. Although this method is one extra step, you're not prying on the caliper which damages the pistons/caliper.
