Review on Allstar Performance ALL11017 Bleeder Bottle by Shane Grosland

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The rubber hose attached to the outlet valve will fall apart after a single use.

The rubber hose from the cylinder to the bleed valve started to break off a little at the third gauge, on the last caliber it came loose twice leaving a ring around the bleed valve. It wasn't anything exotic, it was a Ford Explorer Sport track with DOT 3 brake fluid. I suspect the fluid destroys the rubber of this particular product. Which is obviously the problem. Another thing I'm not happy with is that I want the plastic to be transparent and not opaque. When you bleed your brake system, it's harder to tell when you've used up your old fluid. The bottle itself and the valve seem fine, the problem is only in the hose. For $22, I expect this product to be useful for more than one service.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • Functionality
