1.0 out of 5 stars Ineffective for bleeding brakes; not well made, October 27, 2010

This review is from: Mityvac MV8000 Automotive Tune Up and Brake Bleeding Kit (Automotive)

I purchased one of these units to help with brake fluid replacement on my '96 Nissan Pathfinder. I was expecting to be able to attach the unit to each brake fluid bleed valve in turn, pump up a vacuum, open the bleed valve and rapidly extract the old brake fluid.

I found it to be close to useless for this purpose because the vacuum it creates is not particularly strong. The fittings supplied with the unit do not make an effective seal to the valve, so air leaks in. In addition the other various fittings do not fit together securely, and the pump kept popping off the tank.

I resorted to having my 11-year-old daughter pump the brake pedal as needed. The pump was of some usefulness to help stop air from leaking back into the system, but it was far from the quick, easy one-man job I was hoping for.

If you're looking to do this kind of job I would not recommend this item. There has to be a better way!

i have two motorcycles (Fjr 1300 & drag star 1100). this little thing bled the clutch and the brake flowed, in under 1 hour for both motorcycles.
Amazing product; it is a must for any motor head.

Thank you AMAZON.

I purchased this item to bleed the brake lines in my boat trailer. Works as advertised and plenty of attachments for any job. The pressure gauge is very helpful too.
