Review on ๐Ÿ”ง 2L Vacuum Brake Bleeder Kit with Fluid Extractor, Refilling Bottle, Silicon Hoses | Universal Adapter for Cars, Motorcycles, ATVs, Trucks by Brian Finley

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Makes bleeding the brakes a one man job

Advantages: - Quick to set up and easy to use. Take it out of the box, connect the air and vacuum lines and start vacuuming. - Old brake fluid is sucked out of the master cylinder much faster than turkey fat. - The trigger lock is a useful feature. You can check the fluid level in the master cylinder as it pumps vacuum into the steering wheel. Everything seems to be of good quality. Silicone hoses are flexible and durable. The vacuum container is made of plastic, but seems solid. That should be enough for many years. Includes a refill reservoir that attaches to the master cylinder so you don't accidentally vacuum it dry when you bleed each wheel. Cons: - Absolutely no instructions. There was a parts diagram in the kit but nothing else. Even the box is empty. I figured it out quite easily, but the instructions would be nice (in 99% of the cases I'll ignore them, but still.). It's good that it worked right out of the box because you're the one troubleshooting when it doesn't. - No storage box. I'm not a pro so this isn't used every day. A storage box would be nice. At the moment it is back in a (regular cardboard) box. It seems to be using quite a bit of air. The listing says 2 cfm but I have an 80 gallon supercharger and when I drive 1 car there is enough drained for the supercharger to turn on. I wouldn't run this on a pancake compressor unless you have a lot more patience than I do.

Pros
  • Looking forward to

  • Expensive
