Review on πŸ”§ Motive Products - 0250 Brake System Power Bleeder: Boost Brake System Performance with Effortless Bleeding by David Shah

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works, don't skimp - get an adapter for your car

I just used this to bleed the brakes on my 2002 Silverado with a universal round adapter. I was finally able to make a good seal with the adapter, but I'm sorry I didn't purchase the GM metal adapter. Eventually, brake fluid squirted past the universal adapter from the top of the reservoir. Everything seems solid but I was very disappointed to find plastic shavings from drilling a hole for a pressure gauge in the bottom of the tank. I'm glad I noticed them before I pumped them into my braking system. I pumped it up to 15 pounds of pressure, which seemed about as high as it could actually hold, before it got past the universal adapter. I was surprised to see that there was no need to pump hard at all between pumping different wheels. I've used more brake fluid this way than the old fashioned way of having someone bleed the brakes, but it's a lot easier and quicker. If you order this, also order some denatured alcohol because that's what you need to clean it.

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • Don't really like it, it's ok
