I've bought this for a lot of cars, but mostly GM.

I have bought this for many cars but mostly GM and does not include radiator overflow parts 2000-2005! I feel cheated. Why is this kit not suitable for normal cars? Why can't I contact the company? Why can I only leave a review instead of giving me information on how to contact the seller? I just spent 200.00 and it doesn't help if I don't spend more money? What a bunch of money. I think I'm giving it back

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Only available in white

Poor guide for those unfamiliar with this type of tool.

Fairly complete kit although it is missing some adapters for the latest Ford and GM vehicles which are available as "accessories". The instructions are poorly translated into English and generally limited, if you have no experience with this type of tool you can play around a bit, less with the pressure test which is pretty much self-explanatory and more with a system for flushing and refilling the cooling system . systems. The build quality is pretty good for an imported instrument so I'm…

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • Some minor things

The best blood pressure test kit I have ever used!

I have a workshop and have been looking for a good pressure test set for a long time. We have tried different brands over the years and have never had any luck. They were either difficult to use, didn't work well, or didn't have the adapter we needed. So far this kit has been excellent. We bought a couple of extra adapters that are not included. So far we have used it on Jaguar, Land Rover, Audi, BMW, Mercedes, VW, MINI, Lexus, Acura, Bentley, Volvo and Porsche models for several years. Has…

Pros
  • Very convincing
Cons
  • Security

Wonderful ! Easy to use

I have a Nissan 350z and have never had any problems with the vent. I've always used a no-spill funnel. My radiator broke and I replaced it and then used a funnel and after so many repeats I couldn't bleed it, it took hours and I still had air in the system. Literally 5 minutes or less with this tool and I removed all of the air and it stopped overheating. The only downsides are the toolbox is huge, other brands cheaper set comes with missing adapters and on mine when you move the adapter also…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Compatibility

Where has it been all my life!

This thing has already saved me money and time. F'n Retard on YouTube who claims it's not 100% effective must be the dumbest person ever. Because this thing is awesome! I wish I had it much sooner. But it doesn't matter if you're servicing cooling systems. It is necessary! Ability to pressure test the system to detect leaks. Makes repairs easier and saves a lot of time when a customer has a dirty @ss engine and you need to see where it's leaking. You can also create a vacuum so you don't have…

Pros
  • Enjoyable
Cons
  • Minor problems

May or may not have the trial cap needed.

So I asked if this would work on a 2007 Chevy Avalanche. I received two replies that yes it will. This information was wrong. I spent $200 on this kit not having what I need. If you have a mid or late 2000s GM you will need to order cap 7858541. I will not be returning this kit but I am disappointed that for the price it does not include a cap. The seller needs to scan the manual into the photo gallery here so people can see which caps fit which cars. Uppercase letters ending in -03 through -19

Pros
  • One Year Trial
Cons
  • Empty
