Review on πŸ”§ BMC Universal Vacuum Pump: Handheld Brake Bleeder Kit Ensuring Efficient Auto Service & Food Canning with Brake Bleeding Tester Set by Russ Charmin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good product but may not work with all braking systems

This is a great little pumping system. It has all the parts you need, the pump is easy to use and the pump is made of brass not plastic. Slip-on boots are a bit stiff on metric fits, but the smallest fit for me. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because I could barely make it bleed. I think but not sure, it depends on where I live. I'm at 8000 feet (1700 meters?) and I could only draw 20 in/L when it was stuck right at the pump. In reality this translates to 18-19 ips and it was just enough to get some light brake fluid flow in my non-ABS truck. My 4Runner with ABS didn't draw any liquid at all. So keep in mind that: 1) vacuuming may not work on all vehicles 2) if you are at high altitude where there is less air pressure it can be a slow process. Otherwise a nice little tool. Recommended with one caveat.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Not automatic
