Review on πŸ”§ Lisle 11000 Brake Bleeder Wrench: Effortless 8/10mm Maintenance Made Easy! by Mike Starling

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Well, while the keys to bleeding the brakes come.

Dislikes: The tool's finish is matte, sandblasted, while the catalog picture shows a shiny chrome finish. There is no Lisle marking or country of origin on the instrument. , except for "8" and "10" at the ends. The price seems overpriced for normal Asian imports. (Taiwanese Prod.) Pro: 6 points! 12 pointer can remove the screw heads. Long tool, good reach. DIY Steak and Potatoes: Don't try to hack a bleeder on an old car with this Lisle tool, especially if it's an aluminum caliper with steel bleeder screws. In any case, treat the bleed screw with a good penetrating oil for a few days before attempting to bleed. Use liquid key or Kroil penetrating sprays. Once this is done you can open the bleed bushing with the appropriate sized semi-deep bushing by a slight tightening and loosening motion - having loosened the bolt now use a wrench to bleed and tighten. some money or extra work. (snapping choke) Drums are more forgiving. I have some new drum brake cylinders in my parts basket in case there is a problem bleeding. A pair for my car is less than $20. My car is an old regular model - parts are cheap. 98 Camry - Do it at home. An unforeseen problem requires a trip home or to an auto parts store from a friend, or by taxi. You will not have a service brake. Bleed the brakes every 2 years. A light anti-seize coating on the threads makes later maintenance easier.

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Okay for the most part, but...
