Review on πŸš— Motive Products 0100 European Power Brake Bleeder Kit - Efficient Brake System Maintenance for European Vehicles by Logan Broadnax

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Disappointed with brake tool

Bought because it was supposed to be a faster and cleaner way to bleed the brakes with just one person, but what I got was a messy product. The first thing I noticed is the lack of swivels on the hoses so you get tangled trying to connect them to the brake fluid reservoir. Second thing I've noticed is that you have to pump this thing like a cocaine maniac to get it to build pressure and I say pump it vigorously for 2 or 3 minutes before you get 5lbs per square inch. The third thing I noticed was a loud hiss around the gauge after I got to my third caliper and after checking it with soapy water the leak was around the plastic weld and it's something I can't fix can. The fourth and final thing I noticed is that there is no reliable way to depressurize the pump so you end up with a squirting hiss from the top of the pump. There is a leak around the press, the pressure gauge of course. My fault is that I tried something else. I ended up calling a friend to help me bleed the brakes and did it in 15 minutes.

Pros
  • Everything great!
Cons
  • unreliable
