Review on OTC 4599 One Man Brake Bleeder by Joe Gosa

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Look elsewhere the pump connection sucks

This is my wife's Amazon account but it was purchased for me. This is the worst thing I've ever bought with the OTC BY FAR label. The lugs and locking ring that secure the hose to the exhaust valve are cheap (soft as copper, like the lugs) and don't really hold up even if you loosen the spring tension on the valve. If you then deal with it, the hose will rip off the nipple at the end of the stem assembly. I've secured it with a small zip tie but the legs still don't hold up well. Finally I removed the tips and tied the bare tubing to the breather and it worked. but I don't have to do that, and only after spraying brake fluid everywhere (not good for safety or paint). I plan to return this when I can.
