Completely unreliable!

This system is the worst! I've worked with cars my whole life so it's not that I don't know what I'm doing. I saw this and saw someone use it on YouTube. I thought it looked great. I connected the system to my tank and checked the pressure for 15 minutes. It has held up well and I thought it would work very well. Then I poured the brake fluid into the reservoir, pressurized the reservoir and started flushing the brake fluid. When pumping the second brake, I hear a hiss. I'll check and the brake fluid reservoir cap is leaking air. I try to tighten it and the cap comes off completely and squirts brake fluid everywhere. I was so angry! I clean up the mess, add brake fluid and try again. This time it holds but still doesn't work well. Finally my son came and helped me. We did it the old-fashioned way and pumped the brakes. I decided to try the system again to flush the brake fluid in another car. I screwed on the cap very tightly and pressurized the tank to check. The cover ripped off completely about five minutes after the start of the test. I try again and it happens again. I'll never use it again as I can't trust the cap won't come off and splatter brake fluid everywhere. Absolute waste of money, useless.
