🔧 Mityvac MV8500 Silverline Elite Automotive Test Kit: Ultimate Diagnostic Tool for Engine Performance, Brake Bleeding, Fluid Transfer, and More Review

I've had a plastic cased vacuum pump that I bought at an auto shop for over 20 years. It's had issues since the day I bought it and had to reconnect just to make it hold a vacuum, but I've been using it ever since. I had to replace it when the stupid plastic lever broke off. From the very first time I took the Mityvac I knew it was going to be a different experience. The metal handles are very durable.

Worth upgrading the plastic version! For purchase, this was 30 percent more than the consumer model. While the 20-year-old plastic Mityvac it replaces still works, the sensor lens has cracked and the plastic appears to be leaking brake fluid like a creature in a Stephen King novel. More akin to a tool than a toy phaser or nerf launcher, the weight, feel and strength are a joy to hold and use. The plastic version seems to get and stay very slippery, while this metal version doesn't seem as…

BLUF: Yes, the design of the pin that tensions the piston rod can be improved, but this problem is easy to solve and I'm going to show you how to do it. Now an overview. If you're like me, before you buy a product, see what percentage of reviewers have given it a star. Then look for common themes. The common feature of this product is the famous safety pin which tends to fall out of its hole causing a lot of frustration. Many users are also frustrated because they find it difficult to replace…
