Not sure if it has a formal name, but if you ask at any parts store, Harbor Freight, etc., for the tool for compressing a REAR disc brake caliper, they should know what you need.
If they don't, you're in the wrong store.
Most of the big chain auto parts stores will even lend the needed tools when selling the associated parts.
To elaborate - FRONT caliper pistons can be compressed with just a large C-clamp, or even using a large screwdriver wedged in by the inside pad, and gently pulling it against the pad to compress the piston.
REAR pistons - they need to turn like a screw while putting inward pressure on the piston.

How do you change the rear disk brake pads on a 1996 sable?
The part of this project that is not 'intuitive' is that the caliper piston needs to rotate as it is pushed back in. While you can do it without the specialized tool to achieve that, it's much easier to rent or borrow one. (Many parts stores will loan them when you buy the parts) Autozone.com has detailed & illustrated instructions for this generation of Taurus/Sable in their repair guide section.
