Review on ๐Ÿš— Optimized Mityvac MV4560 Pressure Test Kit for Radiator/Cooling Systems: Includes Adapters for Testing Majority of U.S., Asian, European Cars, and Light Trucks by Nicholas Lim

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good cooling system tester for the price!

Bought a Mityvac MV4560 cooling system tester to diagnose a leak in a snowmobile's cooling system. With the Mityvac tester I was able to track down the defective radiator cap. I was budgeting for this purchase as I suspected it might be a one off item. But now that I have a pressure gauge, it will come in handy to use it more often. One quirk that bothered me when using it is that the operator needs to be doubly sure that the compression fittings connecting the plastic tubing to the tester are tight. Otherwise a false leak will be detected. Like the clamp fittings, the tester is made of plastic. When tightening, you need to be careful not to break them. The tester came without a case, which would be nice. But the box that the tester comes in is a good place to keep the entire tester and all of its adapters, just don't subject the box to heavy use. The tester did its job and I am happy with my purchase.
