Waste of Money, Avoid This Tool

This universal radiator is a complete waste of money for any automotive enthusiast. Thanks to my knowledge gained in practice, I was able to identify a number of flaws in this tool. It is not durable enough for consistent usage and wear and tear. The biggest letdown was the tool's inability to fit radiators properly. I would advise other mechanics to steer clear of this product and invest in something much more reliable.

Pros
  • Compatible with a wide range of vehicles
Cons
  • Requires some prior knowledge and experience with car maintenance to install

Good quality at an affordable price

I bought this to replace my redline kit which I had for several years. I was a bit hesitant because of the price difference, but after a few uses I'm glad I chose this kit. No problem, I would place the CTA kit right there with the Redline kit. I'm glad I chose CTA as my replacement.

Pros
  • All O-ring adapters. Connector works with all standard pressure test pumps
Cons
  • Expensive

Works perfectly. Good price.

Works well, be sure to wipe mating surfaces dry before use to keep them in place. Used once on a bottle of Dodge Promaster Degas. Beats the price of a tool cart so I got it here. I don't get paid enough for tool cart prices, I'm glad Revane had them!

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • No automatic
