3.0 out of 5 stars OK, but not great, November 19, 2007

I'm sold on pressure bleeding - I like the method, and this tool does fit the bill in that category. I've tried vacuum bleeding with a MightyVac vacuum pump as well as those venturi-types that connect to your air compressor (not willing to use my A/C electric vacuum pump for this task) - I ALWAYS got bubbles in the output stream, especially in the rear lines, even when great care was taken to ensure a good seal of the vinyl tubing on the bleeder valve.

That said, this pressure bleeder attempts to be too universal, and makes for a potentially messy solution. Getting the cap adapter to seal properly takes a lot of fiddling. The penalty for a leaky seal is brake fluid all over, which is a *big* negative. It *does* work once you get it set up. I just had very limited confidence in the seal. Also, the pressure gauge on my unit was damaged during shipping, so I'll need to replace that before I use it again, so I can get a real indicator of pressure - I just pumped it up enough so that brake fluid would flow out of the lines as needed.

So I give it 3 stars because it is a fantastic way of bleeding the brakes without a helper, but getting it setup properly is overly finicky IMO. If the seal concern were eliminated, this tool would be an absolute pleasure to use. This tool does leave the M/C reservoir overfilled, so I still use my MightVac to suck out the extra!

I needed something to bleed my older European cars. I got an '83 944 and an '85 VW Vanagon. On these cars you can not do the job correctly without a bleeding system. It works nicely on these cars with the supplied attachments. However I do the bleeding process a little different than the instructions. I DO NOT fill the "Power Bleeder" ("PW") reservoir with brake fluid I only fill the car's brake fluid reservoir. I Attach the "PW" unit and pump up the pressure (see your manual for the proper pressure). I then bleed the system. I checking the pressure and re-pump if I have to. I keep an eye on the car's brake fluid reservoir and only add fluid to the reservoir not the "PW". It takes a little more time and you have to disconnect and reattach the "PB" to fill the reservoir but no mess.

I was looking for an affordable Brake Bleeder and I was real amazed how well it worked. All I had to do was hook up the power bleeder, there was no need for a second person. The Brake bleeding job was done in minutes so this will save a lot of time in the future as well! I will recommend your product to others and look for your products to help me in the future.
