ABS Bleed works best with sealant

I purchased this specifically to bleed the ABS block on my 2005 Chevrolet Silverado of which 99-05 models are generally considered the same (or GMC Sierra). I have rusted brake lines from the master cylinder to the ABS block. After fixing the lines, I bled the brakes until my face turned blue, to no avail. After googling and finding out that the ab block needed pumping, I went straight to smile.amazon.com to find an affordable tool that would get the job done and save money and time by not having to take it to the store . The menu was ok and I almost didn't think it was bleeding for a moment, but then played around for a second and got to the special feature. I'm happy to report that it works as advertised for this particular feature. As I have not tried any other car, I cannot report any other make or model. I haven't tried any of the other features at this point, but will update this review as I use this tool more often. The shop would easily ask what it costs just to bleed the ABS/brakes without repair. And if you don't want to risk driving with bad brakes, towing will cost as much as this tool costs. I recommend trying it!

Pros
