LOl. What you're saying then, is that 1 x one ton jack will lift
as much as 2 x 1 ton jacks? Interesting hydraulic philosophy, I
wonder what Bramah would say.


I didn't say this. If the jacks work in parallel, they lift 2 tons. But
if you stack two jacks, will they lift 2 tons?

hint: The answer is "no"

Exactly, but that is not the case in a 2 piston caliper,
the forces aren't acting in tandem. Still I notice, you
tend to ignore what you don't understand..
