5.0 out of 5 stars Great for working with my Mercedes vacuum system, May 25, 2007

This review is from: Mityvac MITMV8500 Silverline Elite Automotive Vacuum Pump Kit (Misc.)

I bought this vacuum pump to diagnose my 1982 Mercedes 300D's vacuum system. Door locks were not working right and the engine wouldn't shut off. This pump helped me repair the system, and again and again. Great tool.

I also like all the hoses, adapters and attachments that come with it. I haven't met a vacuum tube on my Mercedes that I can't hook up to.

This is a quality tool. It is constructed in die cast metal. It should be much more robust than plastic. The availability of re-build kits is a great feature. The only gripe is with the instruction manual. If clear large sized illustrations were paired with concise written instructions, it would be a major improvement over the current format. Currently the manual is printed in a hard to read fine print font. The information is vague and incomplete.
