Review on TKM Tools Oil Sampling Pump by Savoeun Ramirez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Oh my god I love this thing!

This is a very well made little vacuum cleaner. Robust design and precise workmanship are evident. The vacuum pump doesn't leak a bit. It feels very solid, feels good in the hand, no burrs or rough edges, great fit and finish. Does not come with sample bottles or vials, I expect you will have these on hand when taking routine oil samples. I will most likely use it to drain excess brake fluid or transmission oil on a car where a fresh bottle and hose is not important but uses a new hose and bottle to test each sample. As a last resort, 38-400 neck bottles are fairly common, I found an old vitamin jar that works great. I buy clear vinyl tubes for sample tubes, but polyethylene tubes are probably cheaper ($20/100 ft) if you make enough samples and only use the tubes once. Anyway, really nice device, glad to have it, would definitely get another one if I need it and would recommend.
