5.0 out of 5 stars Works great, holds vacuum - no leaks
Best tool of this type I've had, just used it to flush brakes and clutch on a motorcycle.Made quick work of the job, went way better than I anticipated.This is a very good quality tool, holds vacuum and doesn't leak around the reservoir lid.I had a cheaper unit before that broke after a couple uses, the Mityvac is much better for only $15 more.The tubing is stiff but so what, it works just fine and seals around the adapters.Comes with a nice assortment of nipples and adapters and had everything I needed.I'm glad I purchased this tool and highly recommend it if looking for a high quality bleeder kit.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Brake Bleeder!
I changed my front calipers on my Toyota Avalon & this kit worked like a charm! I opened the bleeder screw & bled out the brake lines all by myself. You DON’T need another person to press on the brake pedal. When you’re bleeding out the line, you’re going to get some air bubbles; it’s inevitable. Be careful not to get brake fluid inside the pump (it could ruin it). Highly recommended!
4.0 out of 5 stars Makes Harley brake bleeding easy
I bought this so I could flush and bleed motorcycle brakes easily by myself. I bought this manual model versus the pneumatic one simply due to cost and amount of use. First, it does the job once you get an understanding and have everything arranged. Certain types of brake fluid are corrosive so you can't be fumbling around. I was working in a chilly garage and the plastic hoses were not cooperative so patience and being prepared are necessary. Test fit everything, have rags ready, and take your time. Second, this tool does more than just bleed brakes so if you need diagnostic work on engine vacuums etc. this can also handle. Third, the placement of the vacuum release lever underneath the tool is poorly designed. You constantly press it while holding the tool with other hand. Once again, you just need to get used to the tool. All in all, for the money, the functionality, and the time and cost savings I think its a good value and worthwhile tool to have if you do your own vehicle maintenance.
5.0 out of 5 stars worked but not the quality I expected
plastic that's not substantial
5.0 out of 5 stars Worked well for brakes
I purchased this to do a brake fluid flush on my cars as the brake fluid turned dark on all 3 cars. It works well and did the job. Although I was at first a little concerned if there was a air leak while I was flushing the brakes so just to make sure, I used a small zip tie at the end of the connection of the bleeder valve to make sure there were no air leaks. I noticed that on the handle of the bleeder tool, there is a line on the handle part that may be an indication that it is going to crack, but not sure. It did not get any larger than when I first noticed it, so hopefully, it is not a crack. Also, per the instructions, the tool can also be used to detect air leaks so that is an added bonus.
1.0 out of 5 stars Impracticable - This MIghty Vac Sux
A friend who is a professional mechanic recommended this item to me. My respect for his reputation diminishes by half as a result:First thing out of the box I thought I should assemble the pieces and do a dry-run test: I could not get a vacuum to form. The lip around the waste brake fluid continer would not seal. I thought there was an o-ring missing from the kit. I checked the instructions carefully and concluded a seal was not included. Eventually I tried all 6 orientations that the 4-ounce receiving vessel would snap into the lid containing Vacuum IN and Vacuum OUT plumbing, found 2 positions that kind of sealed, and marked the best orientation with a permanent marker so I could find it the next day for the wet-run.The manual vacuum pump develops a good vacuum. But the devil is in the details. Ancillary problems prevent the apparently excellent engineering of the vacuum piston, plunger, and valve from being useful. All told, I cycled a number of gallons of high-end (expensive) brake fluid through this device. My cost in wasted brake fluid is greater than the new price of this device.First, the worst design problem with this device is that it has only a 4-oz "collection vessel." When you have to quickly pump gallons through the bike to encourage air bubbles to travel down the brake lines, that's a hell of a lot of stopping just when the stream has almost emptied the air from the system to let the bubbles rise back up the vertical brake lines to the handlebars! The biggest problem is that that the small collection vessel requires that you constantly interrupt your progress every minute or 2 to re-empty the reservoir. There are so may problems with this unit, I include a bullet list, below.The vacuum release has a hair-trigger. And I MEAN hair-trigger. If you bump it, touch it against something on the side while trying to rest the unit on something while you refill the fast-emptying brake fluid reservoir on the handlbar (which needs attention every 15 seconds or so), the vacuum is released. At first I thought, "no problem," but it turns out when the vacuum is released by the device, air rushes back into the caliper's slave cylinder. You have to grip the vacuum pump in the same location where the vacuum release hair-trigger is, so... My advice is to use some snap-ring pliers to remove the vacuum release trigger. You can easily depress the end of the valve actuator without the giant hair-trigger lever-arm someone (probably a marketing committee) opted to include.There is the list of problems I encountered with this product. There may be a better product made by the same company, or maybe I just got a lemon. I can usually trust my mechanic friend's advice, but not WRT this item. It's problems include:Poor vacuum seal at lip of collection reservoir;Difficult to avoid vacuum-release hair-trigger;Rear handle of vacuum pump falls off while in use. (See photo);The sealed "clock-face window" for the vacuum gauge fell off. (Perhaps a worker forgot to glue it on?);The white splotch on the side of the vacuum meter bezel (in photo) is due to its coming in contact with DOT5.1 brake fluid -- the most harmless kind. One would think a tool made for use with brake fluid would not be immediately destroyed by brake fluid the first time it touches a tiny amount. The other side of the initially black bezel is mostly white;Neither of the two "6mm" soft rubber fittings provided seal reliably on my 6mm "grease nub" bleeder valves;The vinyl tubing they include was wadded up in a tiny compartment in the corner of the box. Even though I left it stretched straight overnight the night before trying to use it, it curls up when you try to use it, and knocks the miniature collection vessel over, and pulls the fitting off the bleeder valve at the least opportune times. Every time this happens, it introduces air back into the system that was there when I decided to use a "professional tool" to remove the sponginess remaining after I bled the brakes with my homebrew Gatorade bottle. When that infernal trigger kicks air back into the system, you have to start over again from the beginning;The rectangular black plastic piece straight off the face of the vacuum gauge fell off of the vacuum pump. I thought it was a decorative ending for the trigger, because its hollow cross-section is shaped like a cross-section of the giant lever-arm for the hair-trigger. But I see there is no such decorative end piece on the trigger in the product photos, so I am at a complete loss as to where it came from. When I say it "fell out," I mean it fell out. I didn't bump it, drop the pump, nothing. I was taking it into the other room to dry after cleaning it, and it fell out on the floor.After 6 hours of trying to get this unit to work (and I'm no neophyte -- I have bled brakes before) the sun went down, and I gave up. Total FAIL. The brakes were much worse than when I started. They weren't even spongy. No engagement at all.There may be more issues that I forgot to mention about this wonderful tool, but that's as much of my time as I can afford to contribute toward making Jeff rich(er) at the moment. Thank God I still have a little time left to return this POS!
Happy with my purchase, its a quality tool
This is a mid range vacuum bleeder, you get exactly what you'd expect for the price, a cheaply made tool that performs well. The handle is plastic and still has that cheaper feel (the trigger jumped outta place when I squized it one time) but the build quality is very nice for what it is. There's quite a few attachments included and also a user manual describing how to use the tool for different maintenance procedures. I used it to bleed my clutch master cylinder. Nice solid vacuum guage that's easy to read and looks well made. For the price all I could ask for is maybe some longer tubes and a few more adapters but I'd be pushing it lol! This was a good purchase and for the price I'd give it 8.5/10
