Poor quality bleed kit

Pretty awful as a bleed kit - Only one syringe is included and it's of poor quality and single use only (mineral oil seems to dissolve it). There is no torx bit to open the exits. After receiving this one I bought another kit and the quality was much better. Definitely worth spending the $10 more. Good if you only need fluid and cable glands.

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • Hard to say

Works great

I have no idea why some of these people gave this product such a bad review when it actually worked great. There is nothing wrong with a syringe or hose and the hose has certainly never fallen off, why is mineral oil pushing through the lines. The nipples screwed into the caliper and reservoir with no problems, and the filling process only took about 15 minutes and was done the first time. So yes it's a good product and the price is fantastic. Clean the tubes when you're done and just put them…

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Nothing here

You need a good bleed kit

Here's the thing: you need a good bleed kit. You don't need air bubbles in the break edges or in the caliper. Just don't buy this kit. The syringe has only one "rib" for the tubing, making it easy for air bubbles to slip through when even the simplest vacuum is applied to expel the bubbles. Also, just one syringe isn't enough, and that one syringe only contains a fitting that can be hand tightened, it doesn't have a nut that can be tightened with a wrench like in a professional bleed kit. It…

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • It's fine

Good for a bleed. Better hoses!

To be honest I only bought this kit for olives and Tektro inserts as I already have a bleed kit - buying the parts individually costs the same as this kit. However, I decided to give this set a try. The first bleed (rear brakes) was smooth and I really liked the smooth action of the splash - much less effort to dive in. On the second pump (front), however, the damn hose blew oil right there! Apparently the hose is NOT compatible with mineral oil and will expand. It no longer fits exactly on the

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Secret
