There is one difference between this pump and the identical pump on YouTube: this pump comes with a whole lot of adapters and a nice rubber hose. The guy who made the video used an aquarium hose and sort of manhandled it into the top of the jar sealer. I discovered that the black rubber hose included here plugs perfectly into one end of the Foodsaver clear accessory hose, thereby enabling a nice long hose with the two combined.
The other part I really enjoy about this setup is that there is an attached gauge with vacuum pressure showing. For canning jars one takes it up to about 20/Hg, which takes about a half minute of pumping. Once that it reached, a simple touch of the release button under the gauge equalizes the pressure and the jar sealer accessory can be taken off.
My Foodsaver is in the kitchen, but it's on a shelf and not convenient necessarily to pull down to seal one thing. This handy appliance will fit in a drawer and take care of that now. Well worth the money for me!
Rebuild kits are available from the Actron company website. This Actron pump appears to be a well designed and well built tool, and I anticipate good service from it. It will pull 27 inches of Hg vacuum. Oddly enough, however, there was no literature, instructions, or recommendations shipped with the pump ( not a word) , so I had to search online for rebuild information. The price from Amazon.com was the best I found by far.
And it seems to be holding up just fine now... now that I've fixed it!
At the top of the handle is a small clip that attaches the handle to the rod. This clip popped off the second time I used it! Luckily I found it on the floor about ten feet away and was able to reinstall it.
I ended up putting a quick tack weld over the clip to prevent it from popping off again and now it works great. I suppose a heavier duty clip may also do the job but being I use this several times a day as a professional tech I don't want to have to keep fixing it!
If it doesn't hold up I'll just pay the extra money for a new mighty vac but I was very disappointed to see it break so quickly!
EDIT: It's been over 18 months now and it's still working great. I did drop it once and the clear plastic gauge cover broke but the gauge and the pump still work fine. I've upgraded my rating to three stars (would be five if not for having to fix a brand new product)
I give Amazon five stars for the way they took care of the situation.. they gave me a credit ,enough to purchase the Size matters pump.. that will work on the cylinders.. I bought this pump over the size matters one as the write ups were much better on this pump.. and the problem is all of these items are not returnable,, and is understandable.. This pump shoud work on other cylinders very well.
You should have received a (very brief AUTOMOTIVE) manual with your purchase. Contact your seller or Actron if you did not.
This is my first Actron vacuum gun. It worked out of the wrap so I gave it 5 stars. I've never had a vacuum gun that didn't work out of the box; a few years down the road is another story. I just trashed a competitor's expensive metal model, saving only the gauge. Rebuilt just a few years ago, it recently leaked every time I needed it most. I babied that unit, never used it to bleed the brakes.
Brakes: This model lacks the necessary attachments, but they can be obtained. I never had any luck bleeding brakes with little hand-held vacuum guns; I just built up my bicep and ruined the gun. Maybe I overfilled the bottle or didn't hold the testers straight. Maybe they couldn't cope with high-capacity vintage muscle car brake systems. Others have used them successfully, though I'm not sure on what cars.
What this product has going for its projected longevity is its apparent simplicity. It's made in China and seems cheap and basic next to its main competitor, but basic (simple and straightforward in construction) might be a good thing. We shall see.
