Hand Held Vacuum Pump Tester Set Vacuum Gauge and Brake Bleeder Kit for Automotive with Adapters Case

Fácil de utilizar y de buen material

This worked well

Went with this option as it was cheaper than buying an electric. I really like that the kit has the adapter set included if the tubing is too small like it was to fit the sidearm of my flask, its a quick fix. I also like that it comes with a suction/collection canister. If it works great for lab use it will probably be just as good for your car.

Changed the brake fluid in two GM vehicles and saved lots of money in doing it myself.

Does it work? Yes. Is it easy? No. The little adapters included leak too much to properly hold, but maybe on larger bleeder screws it might seal better. I took to just stabbing the tube directly on the bleeder. With that it was not a confident seal and often the bubble trail you see is not from the brake line, but the tube misaligned enough to let air in. I had on hand a slightly smaller tube that had a tighter fit and this worked much better. The vacuum device was adequate, but in two situations the best results were from starting the flow and letting gravity work. Of course the hose seal is half the battle as the bleeder screw may let air pass through the threads to introduce air into the bleeder line. I've tried the teflon tape wrap trick with some success, but the small lump of butyl seemed to work best and with my box end bleeder wrench in position to give it a little smushing down to make a seal. I pick it out with a fine pick when down.

Great product. Fast shipping!

Junk handle broke just trying to get the tube off that wouldn't come off so I could get it back into the junk storage case. It made a difficult situation worse by breaking, and the junk needle cover kept falling off. I don't need this. Wouldn't even fit into the trash right lol.I pulled it out of the trash and may try jb weld. A big wad of that might fix the handle. It might also waste more on this junk. Should also use it on the needle cover. *shakes head*

I was initially very reluctant to buy this pump. Usually cheap products suck in my experience. But I gave this one a chance. I bled the for lines of my classic Mustang with no issues at all. The kit is well constructed, perhaps not the best quality materials, but well put together. In addition, it comes with many substitutes just in case - Pump piston, bottle seal, extra hoses, etc. The pump sucked very well with no leaks whatsoever, and all connections kept very tight. I was able to do the job in 1/2 hour. I was planning to throw this kit into the trash after doing the job, but decided to clean it and keep it. I am sure it will continue to do fine in my next brake bleedings.
