Review on ๐Ÿ’ฆ JIFETOR Radiator Pressure Tester Coolant Vacuum Refill Kit - Ultimate 28PCS Cooling System Leak Test Pneumatic Purge Fill Tool Set by Joel Briggs

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Poor design - won't hold more than 10psi

I tried 2 of these. The spring loaded metal caps (the 3 you see on the bottom left of the case) are not strong enough to seal the inner rings of the heatsink or your own adapter above about 10psi. This means that if you try to pressurize the cooling system or use the cap adapter, you cannot exceed 10psi before the cap itself will leak. (Yes, I wet them). It also means you can't test most radiator caps that are supposed to open above 16psi. Also, since the quick disconnect is part of the back of this seal, a slight sideways force on the fitting through the hose when venting will result in further leakage.

Pros
  • Multifunctional: JIFETOR coolant pressure gauge filling kit includes leak detection, temperature check and additional coolant functions. The coolant leak tester pressurizes the water tank/cap and if the pointer drops it means there is a leak in the system. Connect the car coolant vacuum filling tool to the vacuum pump, the air will be released and a vacuum will be created to supply coolant to the cooling system. Add coolant under vacuum without large air pockets and avoid engine distortion or other damage.
Cons
  • Good but not great
