Review on πŸ”§ Motive Products 0107 Power Pressure Brake Bleeder: The Ultimate Solution for Brake Maintenance on Ford and Asian Cars and Trucks by Jon Lewis

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Looks good but sealing issues

I would like to give Motive Bleeder 5 stars because I think it's a good product and the company's customer service was great when I had an issue. But despite trying for an hour I couldn't get it to hold a seal. I had the correct adapter for my car, I've repotted it into the fluid reservoir several times, tightened the threads connecting the adapter to the breather (and used teflon tape on the threads at one point) but nothing I've tried has not working. I inflated the pump to 15 pounds (dry) and it slowly depressurized. I ended up bleeding my brakes the old fashioned way (bleed the brakes) but for a one man job that requires you to constantly walk back and forth between the brake pedal and the wheel being bled and keep an eye on the fluid reservoir. so it doesn't dry out. I have returned the improved motif to Revane. I might try Motive Bleeder again the next time I bleed my brakes in a few years, hoping I just have a bad brake this time.

Pros
  • Handy
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than others
