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!

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.

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

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.

Utilisé pour tester les membranes de chauffage et autres sur une voiture ancienne. Il faut bien utiliser le bon embout au risque d'avoir des pertes.Envoi très rapide comme toujours avec Amazone.

Yes the hoses come kinked. I set them in a car in the sun for an hour or two with the windows up and they returned to their original slight curve (from being on a roll at factory) but not kinked.The cup has suction. If you look at it before you try to put it together you will notice it's possible to tighten the lid in either direction. Turning it clockwise until the tab on the cap touches the middle tab of the cup and it holds enough suction to function as intended.As for the "boots" no connecting securely. On my 2004 Sebring they fit perfectly, sealed very well, on my 1999 Eldorado they didn't seal very well because the bleeder valve nipple was pretty rusty and needs to be replaced. That being said it still pulled fluid just not a good stream. I also had no problems with my 1994 F-150. Got this started today at 5pm and had 3 vehicles done (replaced brake fluid in all) by 7:30, this includes time to jack them up and remove and rotate tires, and a couple smoke breaks.The cup isn't very big but is perfect for this purpose. I started by sucking the fluid from the reservoir (filled cup twice) then started with the closest brake (drivers front) worked clockwise around vehicle (filled once for each to get new fluid). Emptying it is a breeze though, if the tube still has fluid in it just put the boot end in a container and press the vacuum release button and it will siphon the entire cup into your container. If there isn't any fluid in hose just give a couple squeezes while submersed in the fluid already in container then press release and it will siphon it all out. I didn't have to unscrew the cup after I put it together.Like others said it is a little awkward to get it to stand on it's own while you have your hands busy, I figured out a way to get the cup upright but it took a few times.The only real problem I had with it was on my 2nd or 3rd brake on the first car the squeeze handle fell off, there was a metal dowel that holds it to a rod and it had somehow gotten turned so it lined up with the hole and just fell out. It must have happened during shipping because once I got it back together (which took placing the dowel in the hole, placing handle on, the using a small flat screwdriver to lift and twist the dowel/rod to lock it in place on the handle-5-10 minutes with slick hands) it never turned again.I believe that most peoples problems originated from bleeder valve nipples that were not in good shape (rust or crud covered) and I would definitely recommend this to my friends/family. For what this costs plus a gallon of brake fluid I did 3 vehicles today, will do one more tomorrow, for less than it would cost to have a shop change the brake fluid on one vehicle.
