I needed it to help pull new brake fluid into a motorbike calliper that had been rebuilt. Once I was happy the fluid was in, I reverted to using a normal one way valve to accurately bleed them. My main point with these type of vacuum bleeders is that they don’t create a perfect seal over the bleed nipple, so it’s very difficult to see when all the air has actually been removed. I don’t see any point spending 2/3x the price when you can get them this cheap.

The bleed kit is very well made and looks as though it should be a lot more expensive. However, I found two issues with it. (1) When you loosen the bleed nipple on the car braking system, air is sucked in through the threads of the nipple even if you only undo it by the smallest amount. (2) Out of the selection of rubber adaptors that connect the bleed tube to the bleed nipple there was not one that was small enough to make a good secure fit. My car isn't anything special, it being a 2002 Peugeot 406, which has the industry standard size nipples. All the other adaptors are bigger still, so not a lot of help there. In the end I had to get my wife to pump the pedal in the old fashioned way, whilst I used the supplied tubing and fluid pot. I am keeping the product though, as I can see it will have valuable uses for other applications other than bleeding brakes. Read full review

It keeps the pressure - don't go above 15psi or it may damage the ABS valves. The fitting over the caliper bleeder screw is too loose, even the smaller one, I had to use my own tubing which sits tighter. It creates and keeps the pressure. You need to pump to 15psi, open the bleeder, let the fluid drain, close the bleeder then pump again. Remember not to pump with the bleeder opened, it's written on the instructions. Bleeding with this vacuum pump is slow, takes time. The rubber over the handles doesn't stay in place, use some strong glue to secure them. The main problem with this vacuum pump idea, is that air will go past the bleeder threads, especially on an older caliper. You will see lots of air bubbles coming out of the bleeder screw, even when the braking system doesn't have air in it. It is because of the strong vacuum, air will get sucked from outside past the threads of the bleeder screw. But the pump still sucks the fluid from the system. It's just that you will never know if the air in the system is completely burped or not.Read full review

It’s not a fault with the product, but as other reviews say air leaks round the threads of the bleed nipple. I have two compressor air fead systems that are meant to work like this, they don’t! I complained about the first as I couldn’t believe how bad it was & the second was sent out but it was just as bad. This system at least has a second use & it’s very good at holding a vacuum.

Sadly, this unit does not work due to the poor quality fittings to the brake bleeder. The hand pump draws air into the line by the bleed nipple which makes it impossible to see when your system has been bled correctly. We ended up just using a hose piece and doing it the old fashion 2 man way, with my friend holding in the lever while I turned the bleed screw. IMO it is better to use a one way solo bleed system, this one created too high a PSI from the pump that will draw air into the line. A one way valve bleeder will not do this.
