Brake Bleeding Kit Hand Held Vacuum Pump Pressure Tester

This is a great tool, not overly expensive but great quality and value for the money, this kit allows you to work with a positive or negative pressure on the fluid. It is very easy to use and simple to clean, comes in a well made carry case with a wide selection of fittings and spare seals.

Honestly, for the price it made re-building and bleeding my breaks super easy, its fairly well built (for the price) and i did not seem to have any problems with leaking, the instructions are clear and straightforward it works like a charm!

I used this vacuum pump to bleed a brake sytem on a recreational aircraft that I could not bleed properly with a standard pressure bleeder. Once I got the vacuum pumps set up properly with a good air tight seal at the brake bleed nipple it efficiently pulled the trapped air out of the brake system. The vacuum pump worked well but like other reviewers I found the rubber connectors that fit onto the bleed nipple leaked badly. I solved the problem by using a short length of silicone tube to connect from the vacuum device bleed pipe onto the caliper bleed nipple. I also found it necessary to seal the thread on the bleed nipple with PTFE tape to stop the vacuum device pulling air along the bleed nipple thread. So in summary a bit of a faff to set up but it then quickly bled the air out of a system that proved impossible to bleed with a standard pressure bleeding kit. Money well spent even if it only ever gets used on this one job. I downgraded the rating from 5 to 4 because an otherwise excellent kit was let down by the leaky rubber connectors provided with the kit.

Although the results I got from this were disappointing (discovered my clutch concentric slave cylinder has failed) it works wonderfully. Simple to set up and use, my only complaint is that the adaptors for the bleed nipple are ineffective flimsy and unsuitable, they need to be made from a superior, stiffer material, in the end I simply pushed the hose onto the bleed nipple. After all said and done, a great product for the price.

I was most interested in using this to make the job of bleedingbike brake calipers easier than doing it 100% manually. This product doesn't help at all. The fitting onto the brake caliper bleed nipple is not as tight as it needs to be and air is introduced. The worst part is the fluid capturing bottle. It's flimsy and low quality, and again air is introduced as it is not air tight (which is fundamental for it to work effectively). I ended up going back to the fully manual method as it works effectively, just takes longer.

​I do not recommend this product to anyone, because not only does it work poorly, but it is actually painful to use. ​To achieve even a minimal amount of pressure or vacuum, you have to pump it by hand incredibly many times. The work becomes an absolute nightmare especially when I switch it to vacuum mode: at that point, the mechanism is so stiff and heavy that the constant squeezing completely strains your wrist, and it could even cause an injury. It is not practical at all, and its ergonomics are non-existent (zero). Stay far away from this if you want to avoid wrist pain!

Very nice quality.. As another reviewer has said, I would ignore the cheap plastic hose and the added adaptors.. Just go onto Amazon and order some Silicon hose of the correct diameter. The core Vacuum unit is a very nice quality.. And that is what matters. The "Add-ons" are neither here nor there.. Throw the "add-ons" and simply use what you bought it for.. Highly recommended

Many decades working around motorcycles so bleeding brakes is easy for me from classics to modern, although when you are working on a dry system for example in this case a new reservoir and hose it can be time-consuming, even using a reverse bleed method which is quite common. But I thought for £13 I would try this the price for a cheap bottle of wine. INCREDIBLE fully bleed in 15 mins!!!!! Doing it, the old way would take at least an hour maybe a hour an half from a dry system. It took me with this cheap tool 15 minutes from 100% dry system. I would say read instructions there very simple but read the instructions and you won’t be disappointed. I am absolutely delighted with this and if it doesn’t last it’s a bottle of wine I don’t purchase, absolutely delighted customer.

Prodotto come da aspettative

Fonctionne parfaitement, ce lit est utilisé pour pas mal de chose, comme les freins, récepteur / émetteur d’embrayage et aussi pour le réglage des wastegate de turbo

Macht was es soll wunderbare Unterdruckpumpe zum prüfen verschiedener dinge!

Zestaw sprawdził się, dobrze wykonane.

Werkt opzich goed maar de o-ring zet vrij snel uit waardoor deze niet meer in het opvangbakje past.
