1.0 out of 5 stars Poor product or bad batch? You decide., September 22, 2011

When I recieved the pump I immediatly tried to use it but to no avail. The issue was tha no ammount of suction was ever produced even when removed from the system entirely. Needless to say a machine that cannot perform its primary function is useless. However when trying to make it work one of the rivits came undone in the handel. This further shows a lack of quality but also a systematic error in manufacturing. Another reviewer ran into the same trouble which should not happen unless the are from similar if not the same batch. This could mean that these may be cases of that one bad one or they product could be itself at fault. Regardless unless you feel lucky or have money to burn do not buy this product at least until Amazon looks at their inventory.

I can't believe the poor quality of this product. The rivet in the handle had fallen out in the packaging. I could not get it to pull any vacuum at all, was returned the next day. 100% satisfied with Amazon Returns, Thank you

Unfortunately, I didn't try this thing out before the return period was over so I'm stuck with it. Don't make the same mistake! I was hoping that most reviewers were just the ones who got a bad unit and there were many others who didn't review it. I don't think that's the case.

This pump does NOT suck in the way it's supposed to. It DOES suck in the very bad way. While it appears to be very sturdy in its construction, it's actually very poorly built. I tried adding brake fluid to it (as the instructions suggest) to get it to seal internally but it didn't do anything other than make it oily.

In short, don't bother even trying this thing. Go to your local auto parts store on the day you need it and get one you can return easily the same day if it doesn't work. Don't throw your money away on this junk.
