I have used c clamps more than any other tool when doing disc brakes. I just got a spreader for large calipers a little over a year ago. Whatever works for you is what you should use.I had no idea my C clamp suggestion was going to be such a hot topic. I do like doing things the hard way.
The tool that Andy linked looks like a worthwhile investment. I've only actually replaced the brake pads on my truck once, but I've also taken them apart to reapply grease...and I swear that half the time when I do a completely unrelated front end project, my brake pads fall out of the caliper and then don't want to go back over the rotor.
