It works: Brake bleeding tool

I would say for the price this filling bottle is not bad, but I would not buy it again. The bottle uses a breakable spring clip to adjust the height of the bottleneck in the master cylinder. Also, the plastic clip that holds the bottle to the master cylinder only sits loosely on the bottle's filler neck. So if you turn the bottle upside down to attach it to the master cylinder, part of the clip may slip off and of course attach in the engine compartment where it is difficult to remove. So be…

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • boring packaging

Great tool for brake shops

Great tool for my shop! We are a brake shop and bleeding the brakes is a daily job here. Pressure bleeding is our normal procedure, however not every vehicle can be bled. That's where this tool comes in - for manual pumping. It's nice to know that you have a 40-ounce backup of brake fluid on the master cylinder reservoir instead of constantly stopping the bleed to check the fluid level. My only suggestion would be to revise this product to include an adapter for GM vehicles with tanks with…

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • No machine

Super useful despite a few minor issues

Yesterday I bled the brakes and clutch on my 2003 VW Jetta using this kit. I used Ate (German) low viscosity DOT4 fluid from a 1 liter can and none of the supplied bottle adapters fit so I used the supplied bottle which worked fine. The supplied base, which is attached to the main cylinder, also did not fit because the main cylinder bore was too small for it. However, the bottle pressed easily against the surrounding engine parts, and the spring clip height adjuster was just enough for the…

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Requires electrical outlet

It works, but there are a few things to consider.

Overall this is a good machine and I would buy it again. That's probably exactly what you need, but please read on so you can learn from my experience. The first thing I didn't like. I strongly recommend not using adapters to dispense brake fluid directly from a retail bottle. That's why. Includes a pair of adapters for standard brake fluid bottles. I used one on a fresh new bottle of brake fluid and immediately regretted it. You unscrew the adapter and then push it into the valve assembly…

Pros
  • Quality workmanship
Cons
  • Hard to say
