DURATECH2 in 1 Brake Bleeder Kit, Brake Fluid Bleeder Kit with Handheld Vacuum Pump, for Automotive, Organized in Portable Case

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.

It sucks Great! Drains the main vein on any motorcycle brake line

Worked great at the begining of the job, Then it started falling apart. I will update w videos of the handle falling off and the pump not holding pressure. This is my s3cond vacuum pump now in the last 2 weeks. Whats going on china?

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..

Converted my 2012 hydraulic Slave cylinder to a 2014. This kit worked really great as a first time user. Bleed the clutch perfectly. I did have my brother standby with brake fluid to keep the Master cylinder from going to low. I was doing it by myself. But having to stop to make sure I didn't suck to much out was time consuming. On my next oil change. I plan to replace the fluid in my brakes. A must have for Do it yourself type of guy/gal.

So I was looking for something that would help me replacing my brake calipers ( I’ve never had to do it). I saw these—- I like the concept— I bought them. I thought it could be worth the money.It comes in a case with instructions. The items are well packaged.The instructions were not the best but are digestible. I followed the instructions as far as assembling the pump system and leak testing- all ok.The pump is easy to use and big enough to read while in different positions. It also doesn’t unnecessarily hurts my hands while using the pump.I Began using it.This is where my disappointment begins.I was only able to vacuum half a bottle. I couldn’t see if I was removing the air ( according to the instructions) or introducing more air into the line due to the poor fitting of the attachments. There were constant bubbles in the bleed line.In the end- I ended up doing the usual pump the brakes while the other tightened the bleed valve after flushing the brake line. I had the brake pumped 2-4 times before it was bled out. So the pump may have worked and I was being impatient or there wasn’t much air in the line to begin with.Overall, I can neither give it a good recommendation to buy or bad not to buy recommendation.This is not my first tool from this particular company. I am very familiar with their tools and sets. I have not had a problem with any of their tools that I have used.It might be something I am doing wrong and I am willing to try again. If the second attempt works or doesn’t, I will update this review.

Will recommend product works great

As always this brand is built very well. Price is affordable too.
