Review on πŸ”§ Genesis Universal Brake Bleeder Bottle: Optimized for Solo Use with Stainless Steel Cable Mount and 12 Inch Fluid Tube by Anthony Lopez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not bad for bleeding the brake system Tools

This bottle works well. Much better than what you could do with a rubber hose and a bottle of Gatorade. The only downside to this bottle I found out when I was bleeding the clutch on my car. The clutch bleeder was in an awkward position behind the radiator, so the bleed bottle had to be on the side so the hose could reach the bleeder. Turning the bottle on its side I found that the magnet was attached to the bottle through a hole on that side of the bottle. Fluid leaked from this hole when I was doing the clutch. You may be wondering why I didn't just flip the bottle so the magnet is facing up. This is because with a tightly screwed cap, if the magnet were pointing up, the air valve on the cap would be pointing down and would leak out instead. I just think they could put a magnet on the side with no hole. Bottle. Maybe just glue a magnet to the bottle with epoxy? or include a magnet attachment point in the bottle shape like they did for the hanger attachment? I could repeat the magnet when I have free time, but I guess with most jobs you won't even notice.

Pros
  • Tools and Accessories
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
