Review on Mission Automotive 16oz Brake Bleeding Kit - One Person Fluid Bleeder for Cars and Motorcycles - Easy-to-Use with Magnet Mount and Hanging Lanyard - 16oz Capacity by Damon Mertz

Not ideal for bleeding the clutch

I used this to bleed a new clutch master cylinder on an '88 Jeep Wrangler. The product appears to be well made but my complaints are as follows: The length of the hose is quite short so you don't have a very large working distance from the exhaust valve. Hose diameter was too big. I got it to work, but it wasn't as tight on the choke as I would have liked. It fell off easily and made the job more frustrating than it needed to be. - The reservoir bottle has a translucent finish, making it difficult to see if there are bubbles coming out of the end of the line. However, the hose is clear, so I think you can see bubbles there. The built in magnet wasn't strong enough to hold the bottle to my jeep's frame after it filled with liquid above a certain level. This product may work better for bleeding brakes, but I was not impressed with its use for bleeding clutches.

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • Definitely bad product
