Orion Motor TechBrake Bleeder Kit with Hand Vacuum Pump and Adapters, Brake Bleeding Kit for Brake Fluid Power Steering Fluid More, Vacuum Brake Bleeder Pump with Pressure Gauge

I've used this for bleeding brakes and also power steering. Not real sturdy, but has held up for a few years now

This is the best for brake bleeding. Very easy to hook up and use. The hosing that is included is flexible. Keep the connections clean amd it womt leak. Small and light. The reservoir is small, but that is good. I used it to clean the brake system on my HD. Worked very well., and the carrying case makes it easy for storage. If you want a good one, this one is the one you want. Don't let the dirty fluid get past the reservoir and into the vacuum gun, it will ruin the gun.

I've had this tool for a few weeks to restore a 1976 MG Midget; I've used it to bleed brakes, bleed the clutch, and to prime the fuel pump. This tool is moderately versatile in that it can pull a vacuum in any line, not just brakes. The gauge is extremely helpful in that it can show before you adjust a bleeder valve if you've got a good connection because if pressure is dropping you know that air is getting in. Moreover, the gauge helped me to realize that one of my fuel lines was so clogged that it wasn't letting fuel in and that's why the car wasn't running.Overall, great value, nice storage case, and it's held up really well. My only comment is that the rubber grips on the handles slide around (probably from brake fluid getting in there and lubricating them, still it would be nice if they had been glued in place.)

Quality control is not good. I hooked everything up and the vacuum pump would not hold vacuum. Diagnosed everything to see where the leak was coming from only to find out the reservoir had a crack/chip in the plastic. This was the first time using the product so it was no fault on my end. Could not return product as the window for return has been closed. If you going to buy this product double check everything when it is delivered so you don't end up like me.Also the plastic case that holds everything together isn't even a hard case. The plastic is so soft, not recommended for transport/heavy use. I can definitely see it either cracking, breaking, or just folding under pressure.

This is a great kit! I used this for bleeding brakes on a motorcycle. It works very well and made the job very simple. The kit contains all the necessary pieces and is easy to use, well made, and really minimizes any mess.

If you’re buying this with the thought that you’ll be able to bleed brakes by yourself, at the corner of the vehicle, with this one amazing tool, I wouldn’t count on it. The vacuum pump functions fine for vacuuming fluid out of the reservoir. Although the capacity of the collection jar is tiny when you’re talking about removing fluid from most vehicles, it does a good job actually creating vacuum and removing the fluid. When it comes to attaching to a bleeder screw and maintaining a vacuum to bleed your lines and calipers, it is not so simple. The plastic bleeder attachments are cheap and flimsy, designed to fit a multitude of vehicles, so the chances that the fit will be snug on your particular bleeder are slim. Some grease or some teflon might help you make a better seal, but by the time you have made that mess, you’re better off using the old school method of submerging a piece of tubing into a Gatorade bottle 1/4 full of clean break fluid and creating your own brake bleeder. Even with some teflon and grease, and using the including wire clamps, I wasn’t able to make a tight enough seal around my bleeder to make any meaningful progress. Keep in mind, I’m bleeding brakes on a Suburban, so large calipers, lots of brake line, a large amount of fluid. It took 10 minutes of pumping and cracking the bleeder to get about an ounce of fluid out of the first caliper, meaning it isn’t worth the time or effort. I wound up aborting, and using the included tubing and a clean 1/2 full bottle of brake fluid to make a poor man’s brake bleeder, and finished the corner I was working on and the other 3 corners in about the same amount of time that I wasted playing with the vacuum pump. Keeping it around, because I can see other uses for it in the future around the garage, like changing power steering fluid or pumping fluid out of a differential or transmission pan without having to remove the entire pan (although I’m going to have to fabricate a much larger catch can for that job, because 6 oz at a time will take all day) but it wasn’t the end all be at all brake bleeder that it is advertised to be.

Mixed reviews made me test it immediately after receiving so I could return if necessary. It was simple to put together and held 28psi with ease. Handle is metal and hose is sturdy. Company either got better or the competition posted a piece video for this product. I would recommend it!!!
