Review on MASTERCOOL 43301 Master Radiator Pressure by Cary Clemons

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Lack of elementary quality control.

Quality control does not appear to be part of this set. All aluminum adapters but one were damaged in one way or another, with most of them having dents and scratches on the case both before and after anodizing. Others still had metal shavings from the manufacturing process or were not fully finished. Considering this is a pressure test kit for a sealed system, these metal shavings can work loose and clog radiator passages and get stuck in thermostats. Not what I want to see from a new tool. All of this in an affordable kit that fits every car I've used it on, from a 1985 Nissan to a 2018 Q7. I expected a better result since the tool is new and not the cheapest option on Amazon. Definitely a case where you get what you pay for.

Pros
  • Automotive
Cons
