An excellent piece of kit. Very east to work with. A real income enhancer.Complete with all the attachments and adapters you may need for all common jobs. Makes an annoying two-person bleed job fast and easy. Great for spotting collapsed and restricted lines.Vacuum is strong and easy to control. Doesn't need a lot of air. Very quiet.Only caution is that it will draw out a lot of fluid quickly. Check levels often or use the refill attachment (can be very messy) for large jobs.

This product is well worth its value. As someone learning to do DIY mechanic stuff, I found this incredibly easy to use and made my first brake job extremely easy and simple. If you're doing this alone and you have an air compressor, I highly recommend this tool. It's so easy to use and can be applied to multiple other fluid jobs. Most importantly, it feels like a quality tool and is simple enough in design that I have no doubts it'll last me for years to come.

This is a replacement unit for an identical unit that finally wore out at our repair shop. Good product, good value and shipping was fast.

Works extremely well although the price is double what it should be when compared to other vacuum leader models

9 years later and this bleeder is still going strong. Although the suction hose has hardened and lost all flexibility: so I'm now looking for a new hose. Used this for years when I was a auto technician I've now switched careers but still use it from time to time. Would buy again!

Works great to bleed air from the brake system. No need to have a second person stomping on the brake pedal to bleed air anymore. It also works great to flush the brake fluid out of a vehicle as per recommended maintenance. Well built tool. You do need a high volume air compressor for this to work best.

WOW. It's pricey for DIY but it's well worth it in time saving. I have been doing the one man bleed with a clear tube and plastic bottle and it would take me about a hour to do all wheels. And it does not work at first try all the time. I always end up doing it few times and it becomes few hours work just bleeding. Still it always a little spongy. I considered the power bleeder but adapters adds to the cost since I have honda, toyota, volvo, bmw and chevy.Well I recently rebuilt the caliper on my honda civic and plus the master cylinder was leaking and needs to be replaced. BTW this is the 3rd time I replaced the master cylinder as when the first one failed I went cheap with after market Chinese and both failed within a year. OEM from now on. And I spent hours and hours bleeding each time using the traditional way. So a perfect time to try this out. I installed the master cylinder empty without bench bleeding and reinstalled the rebuilt caliper. I set up the mityvac and set my 33gal craftsman at 90psi. Sucked each wheel for 90 secs and lots of bubbles coming thru but just have to trust the gadget. I did another round for 30sec each for good measure. I went thru a bottle and a half of 32oz brake fluid. Now the moment of truth, I step on the pedal few times and it's firm. I started the car and it's firm. WOW! That's 8 minutes plus add another several minutes for moving the stuff from wheel to wheel.

I bought this to bleed the brakes on my Dodge Ram when I upgraded the rotors and pads and found it to be so easy to use that I exchanged the brake fluid in my wife's Honda too. It truly makes brake maintenance a one person job and I didn't even use the automatic fluid adder (the rate of fluid transfer can be adjusted so that you can stand at the reservoir and fill as needed while you watch the old fluid in the clear tubing change to the color of the new, clean fluid). There are loads of YouTube videos showing people using the machine so that is a good way to start if you are hesitant to purchase the bleeder.Now for my favorite part of this machine. Look in the picture and you will see a clear, flexible plastic tube attached to a rigid plastic tube. Using this setup I have effortlessly flushed the power steering systems of our cars and changed the oil in all the yard care machines. With this setup and pair of cheap nitrile gloves I did three small engine oil changes with not a drop spilled or greasy hands. Pour whatever used/dirty fluid is in the Mityvac container into an appropriate container and recycle.Everything about this bleeder is quality. The plastic parts are thick and sturdy and the metal parts are chrome plated and solid. You will need a decent compressor to use this. I use a 25 gallon compressor and it runs continuously while I am using the bleeder, but it works fine and provides decent vacuum. I don't think I would try it with anything smaller though...pancake type compressors probably would not work.In summary:Easy to usePerforms many tasks related to draining fluidsAllows jobs to be performed with nearly zero mess/cleanupRequires a decent compressorLots of video available showing people using the bleederAutomatic fluid feeder included, but I have not used it

I first encountered one of these in 2009 when a friend who worked at a performance shop borrowed it from work to help me do my brakes. I have to say the task of doing brakes isn't a favorite of mine because of the chore of bleeding brakes. Needing a second person, or replacing your fittings with bleeders just isn't always in the cards. At any rate, the first time I saw this in action I knew I had to have one. I really didn't do much asides from watch him throw a switch and to top up the master cylinder.Attach the air feed line from your air compressor, attach the unit's hose to the caliper zerk fitting, loosen the fitting and push forward the switch on the device and watch the unit remove the air. It really is that easy, and takes at most a few minutes to do the complete job. The unit seems quite sturdy and well made, certainly so for the price.I can say if you have a smaller air compressor it is going to tax it, I have a very large compressor and it ran more than once doing a complete system flush. Also, the unit seems to hold enough to do probably 2 maybe upwards of 3 complete flush jobs so that's a bonus. I'll have to update as the unit sees more use, but as I'm not a professional shop I imagine this unit should last quite a long time.
