I need to change my rear pads 2 months from now. Should I pick up some kind of tool by lisle or KD or just use clamps. I could spend up to $50 if it makes my life easier.

    I used a very large screwdriver and gently pried against the outer most edge of the rotor (on an angle), being careful also not to damage the gasket on the piston with the blade. Worked fine and I could have reused rotors if I had wanted to. You can place an old pad back and pry against that also once you have one piston compressed. It is really pretty easy.

    I have been using the same set of big channel locks for the past 20+ years and have never been left wanting because of them. The only one that you really need a special tool for is the S/V40 rears.
