Review on OEMTOOLS 24397 2.5 Gallon Manual Fluid Extractor Pump For Oil And Transmissions, With Oversized Handle For Easier Use And Extraction by Phillip Samuel

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Wow, what an awesome tool

So useful. Used it to change the brake fluid on my vehicle today. I needed to fashion a small hose section to hook up the smaller hose to the bleeder valve. A small piece of tubing slipped perfectly over the bleeder and the small hose that came with the tool. After that crack the bleeder, a couple of pumps, and sit back and watch the show. Top off the fluid, rinse and repeat per wheel. So easy compared to those hand pump tools.After that I changed my power steering fluid. Crack loose the return line to the res and slide the tool's big hose down the return line. It fit perfectly and formed a tight seal. Cap off the res and top it off. Then a couple of pumps and watch it suck all the fluid right through the system. Top off the res as the level drops and continue until clean fluid is coming from the return. Reinstall the hose onto the res bottle and good to go. Took 10 minutes.My lawn mower doesn't have a drain plug. I used to tip it over to drain the oil. Now I go down the dipstick. My snow bower requires removing the wheel, elevating that side if the machine, and fashioning a track for the oil to flow so it doesn't spill all over the machine. Now - down the sip stick tube. Generator - same thing, down the dipstick tube.Changing the transmission fluid on my mother's CR-V. Jacking and crawling under the vehicle is a thing of the past. down the dipstick tube and you can get everything in the pan.I can't believe how useful this tool is. I'm so glad I bought it.

Cons
  • Does not include any storage or carrying case for transportation or storage
