Raised Hands Surround Us Three Nails To Protect Us |
Not trying to break the bank but want decent quality that has a hand pump and can be hooked to my compressor. Also would like numerous attachments for the dipstick as well as brake calipers. They ones on Amazon range from $50-$150 and all really look the same and likely are all made in the same Chinese factory. Only American made one I can find at a reasonable price is AirPower America Topsider but it can’t be hooked up to my compressor nor does it come with any attachments.

Mityvac MV7300 Pneumatic Air Operated Fluid Evacuator and its been great. I have several. This is the air one. They make a hand pump one, but not one that does both afaik.

You don’t want to hook up a compressor to bleed your brakes…slow and steady wins that race. Motive Power Bleeder is what I’ve been using for many years and makes. ------------------ Eddie Our Founding Fathers were men who understood that the right thing is not necessarily the written thing. -kkina | |||

I bought this Schwaben 6 Liter Fluid Extractor from ECS Tuning...And it's AWESOME! --> https://www.ecstuning.com/b-sc...system/007221sch01a/ I also purchased this Schwaben Dipstick Oil Change Tube Set to go with it, and it works on my '10 Audi S5 and both of my Volvos ('09 S60 & .13 XC70) --> https://www.ecstuning.com/b-sc...be-set/013810sch01a/ I use it for Oil Changes and specifically got this Schwaben Extractor because it will pump out the drain oil instead of having to pour the tall column of oil out of it, risking spills. With the engine warm, I can extract 6 liters of oil and then pump it into my waste oil container in a total of eight minutes! This Schwaben 3-Liter Multi-functional Filler System is on my list to purchase next --> https://www.ecstuning.com/b-sc...system/007311sch01a/ It will be used for filling duty on a DSG Transmission & Differential fluid change(s), etc in a couple of months. I don't plan to do brake bleeding with this, and have had ZERO luck in the past trying to do so with similar units in the past. Honestly, I get my best results from manually bleeding with a partner running the pedal. Note: Unfortunately, neither will accept a compressed air from an Air compressor, and they are both Made in China, though they seem to be a definite step up from all those seemingly identical ones you see on Amazon. ____________________________________________________________ If Some is Good, and More is Better.....then Too Much, is Just Enough !!

I’ve used a pneumatic brake bleeder for decades now. I had this one from Griots Garage and used to use it for fluid extraction but the damn thing has up and disappeared so I am looking to upgrade. It worked nice slow and smooth. ———————————————— The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad. If we got each other, and that's all we have. I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand.

I've been using a Mity Vac hand suction bleeder for brake fluid change on my vehicles for years. Just last month I bought an electric suction bleeder to try and it worked great. I just changed the brake fluid in 3 (plus clutch in 2) motorcycles last week and it is much easier with the electric one, just pour more fluid in as the level in the master cylinders drop. I'm sure the one I bought came from Asia as it was only $50 or so. No car is as much fun to drive, as any motorcycle is to ride. | |||

Thank you Very little |
For the oil unit, no experience to offer, for the brakes, Mity Vac hand pump works very well. | |||

I used this two weeks ago on my bike too, but also had Mrs. Lee assisting with the lever and pedal. This weekend I'll use it on my car with my Motive at the master cylinder. Done it many times. BTW, my first Motive died after too many AZ summers spent stored in the garage. I went to pressurize it one day, while doing Mrs. Lee's brakes and several streams of brake fluid sprayed in all directions, apparently from the clear hose being too brittle from the heat over the years. New one gets stored in the house. | |||

And nhracecraft just cost me $250. Success always occurs in private, and failure in full view. Complacency sucks… | |||

I have an Orion Motor Tech hand pump brake bleeder. Costs $20. It works. For very occasional home use it is good enough. It had ok reviews compared to other similarly priced units. For oil extraction I have a Lotyes electric pump. It works, nothing amazing. $22. I think these are definitely a get-what-you-paid-for item. I use them about once per year each. If I were maintaining several vehicles several times per year, I would have spent the money for better tools. | |||

For brakes, give a serious look at Speed Bleeders. Their website sucks, but if you give them a call they can usually find the specs for your car. You only have integrity once. - imprezaguy02 | |||
