This device is amazing. It evacuates the entire (Drained) cooling system of air as you watch the hoses collapse. Then close off the suction valve and check the vacuum gauge for leaks. Remove the air supply hose and connect the refill hose and insert into a bottle of antifreeze and open the suction valve and watch the system fill in seconds. Note: don't let the bottle empty completely and allow air to get into the system there by defeating the purpose. Close off the suction valve as the fluid nears the bottom, insert hose in new bottle, and open the valve and finishing filling. That's it!

Superb tool for today's cooling system purge and refill (be certain to have enough of the proper coolant)!

Excellent tool for refilling Gold Wing motorcycles, especially the flat 6 cylinder models.

I love it!

Once you use this you will wonder how you lived without it. I wondered if it would really work on a large capacity cooling system. My truck holds 25qt. It takes about 30-45 seconds to vacuum the system after draining the radiator, then place the pickup in a large bucket of coolant, open the valve and watch 25qt flow from the bucket into the truck with no air and you're all done in about 45 seconds. Amazing and worth every penny.

I just purchased a UView 550000 Airlift device and used it to change the coolant on my 2010 Toyota Prius for the both the engine coolant and the inverter coolant. I also changed it on my wife's 2007 Honda Accord. It cut the time in at least half if not more.

The Prius has more issues than most cars with the engine coolant replacement due to the additional heat recovery loops and the tendency to entrap air. This adds time to the replacement in order to bleed off the trapped air. With the Airlift device I was able to drain, pull a vacuum and then refill without having to bleed any air at all.

I was surprised how quickly it pulled 26 Max vacuum. I recommend this to anyone that replaces their own coolant.

I purchased this tool after a buddy of mine pulled his out and showed me how easy it was to fill the coolant system.
I love this tool!! its easy to use, portable, easy clean up. this only thing I can figure out is what the little rubber adapter is for.....can't seem to find any use for it yet.

I have noticed its a little difficult to use on some import cars with the little radiator neck, specially some of the new Toyota's and others. Seems the adapters they give you are little too big cause you have to hold it on while you suck the system down.

all in all I love this tool, saves alot of time and aggrevation for getting the air pockets and all out of the newer designed coolant system setups.


hope this helps in your purchase!

The airlift works great. It will really pull a serious vacuum and doesn't require much cfm from the compressor. I have a small air compressor at the house and it worked great. Totally eliminates any air pockets in the cooling system.

What a great time saver, easy to use and quality construction, at a very fair price!

You don't often find tools that work as well as the UView 550000. Makes changing coolant easy and it will have you smiling every time you use it! As mentioned, Snap-On re-badges the Uview and sells it for about $250.

This is the exact same tool that Snap On offers at 1/4 the price. This is the only way to fill your coolant system. There is no worry about air pockets in the system when using this tool.

Good and practical product to purge air out of the cooling system for rear mounted engines i.e Ford GT,and Ferrari.
