This is a very complete set and I would say for the price this is the most complete set I have seen. It includes not only the most common manufacturers, but also cross-references to more specific vehicles. Old Mercedes, Delorean, Peugeot for example. I know working with cars isn't for everyone, but changing the coolant is pretty easy and saves a lot of money. A properly maintained cooling system extends engine life. Most head gasket failures are due to overheating. This is a good set and I say anyone who works with cars, drives classics or owns a number of high mileage cars should consider buying this set.

Pros
  • When checking for leaks, connect the correct adapter plug to the hand pump to pressurize the cooling system and see if the gauge needle drops or not. The faster it falls, the more severe the leaks. When filling coolant, first evacuate the cooling system with a vacuum pump, then the coolant is sucked directly into the radiator. Very easy to use. Radiator problems are usually caused by breakage, leakage, and non-vacuum fill with coolant. Subsequent repairs and replacement of the engine are much more expensive.
Cons
  • Only available in black
