Needed to bleed my brakes without help from an "assistant" so I bought one of these at Autozone for $7. To say that this product is CHEAPLY CONSTRUCTED would be an understatement. It's made in China and I would be surprised if the kit parts cost more than the packaging !
It has a few problems:
1. The bottle must be positioned higher than the brake cylinder to allow air bubbles to rise and go into the bottle. To do this, there's a magnetic disk on the back of the bottle that you're supposed to place on the frame of the car. The magnet is not very strong, and when the bottle fills with brake fluid, the magnet will likely let go and then the bottle falls on the ground, spills brake fluid, etc. Big mess ! If the frame is rusty, forget it !
2. After you bleed the brake and close the bleed valve you remove the tube and tapered fitting from the valve. If you don't pay close attention, you will VERY LIKELY have brake fluid running out of the bottle and all over your hands, clothing and the ground.

Good things about the product: (1) It DOES do what it claims. (2) It's dirt cheap. (3) It comes with a lifetime warranty from OEM Tools.

1.0 out of 5 stars Better Off Without It, February 15, 2009

I bought this to change the brake fluid on my Suzuki SV1000 motorcycle.

I began by connecting the tube to the bottle. I then realized the bottle was too small and there wouldn't be an easy way to empty it. I tried to remove the tube and the plastic bottle nozzle tore off. I ended up cutting the tube off the nozzle.

I attached the pointy plastic nozzle to the other end of the tube. I tried to hook it up to the bleed valve but the nozzle keeps coming loose. It kept leaking fluid everywhere. I finally got it changed by I got a lot of air in my rear brake line and I will have to go back and flush out the air bubbles. It took me a long time and a lot of paper towels and was a huge pain in the butt because the longest tube is hardly long enough.

If I had it over again, I would go to Home Depot and buy a plastic tube that fits tightly over the bleed valve then just use a razor to slice it off when I was done.

Basically, the plastic nozzles suck. The bottle sucks. The tubes can be used but are too short (and therefore suck). Bottom line: go another route.

I'm usually pretty good at making lemonade out of lemons. But there is nothing here that is any good. Make your own, PLEASE. Don't waste your money. I made one out of clear vinyl tubing from Ace hardware (about 3ftlong). Make sure it will fit your bleeder screw thingy. A empty pickle jar with a lid, poke a hole in the lid with a screw driver, run the tube down to the bottom and punch an air hole in the lid also. Connect the tube to the bleeder screw and for me what worked well was to set the jar up on two milk crates so when you pump the brakes the fluid has to work its way up the tube this way there is always fluid near the bleeder screw. I saw so many tiny air bubbles come out of my system.I love the way my brakes feel now. Fresh fluid and no air in the system. Nice and tight not spongy. Always keep your reservoir full.
