Exactly as promised

owned one of these before, used for troubleshooting many items on autos as well as brake bleeding. Hard to find a better tool for fluid replacement in a brake system than this for the price.
comprehensive instructions make it easy to use if you've never done this before, the savings from ONE use will more than pay for the cost of purchase, and the tool will last many years.Read full review

Doesn't work.

This product was pulling mostly air through the clear lines, making it seem like the brake system had tons of air in it. It got to the point where I was only pulling air, and no brake fluid. I knew the system couldn't have that much air in it, so I had my son help me do the old fashioned way, with him in the driver seat, pressing the brake pedal. The old method worked great, and my brakes were bled perfectly. Also, the fittings and tubing kept coming apart. Brake fluid was constantly being sprayed all over. I feel like I wasted $50.Read full review

Used for bleeding brakes. I saved about $80 as a DIY project.

I had never used this tool before but I worked for 9 years in a car repair environment doing basic tasks like TBA, etc.

This tool was used on a 1987 Ford F-150 with disc brakes on the front drum brakes on the rear for a complete brake system flush.

---

In theory, it's all good but when used as a brake bleeding, tool I found it difficult to NOT get bubbles in the hose from the front bleeder fittings. For the rear brakes though, it was easier because the fittings were slightly larger and it went well.

My tip for you would be to use the pressure release lever on the tool itself instead of pulling the hose off the fitting under pressure. Also, you won't be able to use a wrench/socket to tighten/loosen the fitting with the bleeder hose on it but you can finger tighten the fitting enough to stop the flow. Another thing is that you might have to use some grease to coat the threads of the fitting so air doesn't get sucked in through the threads.

The quality of this tool is outstanding.

Great product!!

Works well but the hose is way to long and if the unit takes in brake fluid via the pump you'll need to take pump body apart which is very easy! And wipe out any of the fluid the unit took in vacuum body. If not it makes the pump stick and will not preform well. All in all solid unit works great.Read full review

Didn't work for me.

I bought this to bleed the brake system. It didn't produce enough vacuum to do the job. Unfortunately, I waited too long to use it, so I couldn't return it.

Broke on first use...

The item was described as open box which I was expecting but not expecting the inside of the tubes, most of the items, and instructions to be dampened with what I can only assume is brake fluid. Also the first time squeezing the pump, the handle broke off. Not a mechanic myself so can't tell if a piece fell off or if it just popped apart. Very disappointed either way.Read full review

Trigger

Like everything about it except the trigger, pumped it up and the trigger fell off numerous times,just a pin holding the assembly together. Needs a better design to hold it all together

good quality tool but should come in a case

Tool is good quality but the lack of a case is disappointing, especially with all the adapters, tees, and small hoses that come with it.
