How to make the handbrake more effective?

No, no such thing as worn out until it breaks or the pads aren't conforming with the disks concentric grooves.
2. Cable not taut enough
Maybe. Adjusted right & all pivot points & linkage & cables lubed?
3. Pistons are not working hard enough in the calipers
Maybe. pistons could be frozen/corroded in caliper.
4. Bad brake pads
No. Good pads for an easy handbrake would be too soft & lockup easily when using the hydraulics & overheat quickly.

Good luck.[/b][/b]
