Review on πŸ” Portable Digital Brake Fluid Tester – Universal Precision Test Pen for Automotive Diagnostic and Quality Control of Brake Oil in Auto Vehicles by Kenny Outlaw

Revainrating 3 out of 5

works but needs a quick fix. (Hot glue covers the plastic end to make it resistant to brake fluid)

Accurate and fast. I like it. I say exact because it seems to work pretty well with the new/old fluid. It gradually gets better as I flush more etc etc. As some other reviewers might point out the plastic is destroyed by the brake fluid. Or maybe it was the brake cleaner I hit him with to flush out the brake fluid, but I doubt it. So they built it out of the wrong plastic and probably should have known better. However, this is a fairly simple procedure. correct. If you use this tool, you can definitely fix something. Either way, it's easy to fix. Just because the plastic is cracked doesn't mean the circuit board inside isn't working. I just hot glued the end, exposing the sensors of course. I did this after a quick test to make sure the hot glue wasn't working. independent of brake fluid. Seems to work. In my case I used a more exotic high temp hot glue but I think regular glue will work as well. Many other glues will probably work as well, just check first if they don't. In any case, this is not a difficult decision.
