DURATECH 2 in 1 Brake Bleeder Kit, Brake Fluid Bleeder Kit with Handheld Vacuum Pump, for Automotive, Organized in Portable case

The danged thing worked great for me! Bought it to bleed the clutch on my Harley. Took awhile to figure out which adapter/nozzle to use to fit the bleed valve but once I found the right one, worked like a charm. The gauge worked well also, don't know why others were having a problem with it. It is of average quality, cleaned up easily and right back into the case. I had no leakage when using it.

Vacuum pump achieved 15-20 inHg. Hoses are plenty long enough to work with. Hoses are flexible enough to get a decent seal on the bleeder valve. Using this kit greatly reduced the mess I made with brake fluid.

The pump is easy to set up and operated.The small bottles only hold like 4-6 ounces each and so you have to stop and empty them before you've finished pumping out typical volume of normal car reservoir. I had to fill it more than little over 2 x.. would suggest the bottles be 12 or even 14 ounces instead . Did 2 Hondas in same day. Spilled some because the tubing is rather stiff and when trying to transfer the fluid to old container it wants to twist and turn and drip from the end of tube.The included hard shell case is nice touch but it is tight so you must disassemble all the dirty hoses to put it away, a bit challenging after it's been used.The bottles are so light they will just flip. Helps to have another pair of hands to hold things.Still it's worth it. Good for consumer. Can use multiple times but not pro level..

First of all, it comes in a nice, molded case -- before you unpack it, note how it fits in or take a picture. When you go to put it away after use, you'll be glad you did.There are some tricks to using this that are not in the manual. Also, the text of the manual says to connect the reservoir to the pump with a 3" hose - don't. Use one of the longer hoses (as it shows in the diagram). I keep a spray bottle of water/dish detergent mix in my garage. I highly recommend this in general and as a lube to make the fittings go into the hoses. Some other reviewers said they had trouble with tubing connections coming loose. I had no such problems because of the soap water I used. Also, it's not good to allow brake fluid to get sucked into the pump. By using the long tube between the pump and the reservoir, it's easy to keep the reservoir lower than the pump, so no fluid goes into the pump. I also squirted a little of my solution onto the reservoir O-ring. I don't know if it needed it, but it made the seal very air-tight, no matter which orientation between jar and cap I used (in contrast to another reviewer who had problems sealing).The pump generated plenty of suction. When working on the car, I only used 10 to 15 psi of suction to keep from emptying the master cylinder too quickly. However, the pump easily gets over 20 psi if it is pumping on a sealed system.So, onward to the actual use. After cracking the front left bleeder on my 67 Chevy, I put my bleeder wrench on the screw and connected the pump. I opened the bleeder a 1/4 turn and was rewarded with a good flow of not too clean brake fluid with "pinpoint carbonation" in it. I think the tiny bubbles was my brake system problem, they caused my car to pull right on moderate braking (the bubbles reduced the brake force on the left). It took only about 3 minutes to do the bleeding - I spent more time jacking up the car, getting the wheel off, etc.I did not see any air leakage back up the bleeder threads as reported by other reviewers. I disagree with the reviewers who suggested putting Teflon tape on the bleeder threads. Introducing a material that wasn't part of the brake system design could be unsafe. If the bleeder leaks along the threads, consider replacing it with a new one or put a finger full of grease over the outside of the bleeder (thus not inside the brake system). Normally the threads will be wet with brake fluid and won't pass much air. If it takes a lot of suction to get the brake fluid to bleed out, it is likely an indication of an obstruction in the system such a rust in the brake lines (the flexible hose from the car body to the wheel is particularly prone to rusting up). Clear any such obstructions or the brakes won't be safe no matter how much you bleed them.I've only had it a short time, so I can't comment on its durability. It seems to be made well enough but keep in mind you don't get a $100 tool for the price of this set.

I love cheap tools. I've got a garage full of cheap tools that have served me well for years. Whether it's Amazon, the Wal store, H Freight, the big orange box store, or even the OG Sears, I've got tools from all those places plus a few car parts stores to boot.With that as context, this may be the worst cheap tool I have ever bought. As in, it literally did not work out of the box. I finally got around to using it today and all I can say is that if you read the negative reviews and still buy this tool, you must not care about your money.In short, don't buy this. It did not work for me. It could not pull a vacuum to extract the brake fluid. So I had to go back to the old school method of working the brake pedal.It's too bad because I'm rooting for Duratech. Like I said, I love cheap tools, assuming they actually work at all.

Works great, was awesome for bleeding my brakes
