Review on Motive Products - 0115 Late GM Plastic MC πŸ’ͺ Power Bleeder: Boost Efficiency and Simplicity in Brake System Maintenance by George Scoles

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Lots of small issues that were easy and inexpensive to fix

Lots of small issues that could and should have been fixed during testing at no extra cost.1. Doesn't sit tight on the tank. It is necessary to add petroleum jelly and additional clamps for caulking. There was still a 9psig limit. The gasket is 1/4 inch and is very tight so it doesn't compress at all. A more compressible seal would solve this problem. Hook. Simply supplying flanged wing nuts instead of washers would simplify the fitment at no additional cost. 4. The included bleed screw hose is only 4 inches long. Not long enough to get to the fishing vessel. Could supply several feet of tubing for less than 5 cents. Sections of tubing connect with NPT fittings that require tape. It can be JIC or better JIC Swivel for cents.6. Removal causes excess fluid to leak from the reservoir. A note saying to break the (hopefully JIC) fittings and drain a small amount would be helpful.7. The pump sucks. The garden sprayers I have are inflated with multiple pumps. This pump took over 100 strokes to get to 10psi. It worked in the end, but had enough issues to be overly annoying. Purchased instruments should not require modification. For that kind of cost, a better version of the house could have been made.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Nothing here
