Helpful but some parts aren’t that durable
Easy to bleed shocks but the ring around the bleeder screw bent on both sides on my RC so just keep that in mind and as far as I know you can’t just replace the red ring unfortunately so now I have 2 busted caps

Just as described
I broke one of my original shock caps and went with these as a replacement. They are slightly heavier than the stock plastic ones, but you can definitely tell they are much stronger.I gave 4 stars because the bottom section does not have a set screw and is only held in by pressure.

Easier with stock caps, PFE tape, and generic O rings...
Flawed design. Those little bleeder screws cannot take the pressure generated in a emulsion shock. No O ring? Stupid aluminum collar? Have to use threadlok, or PFE tape, and be VERY VERY careful tightening any aluminum shock parts made by HR. Soft stuff. For an emulsion setup, you are better off buying an assortment of o rings from the hardware store, using PFE tape to plug the bladder bleed hole, and filling the shocks upside down to about 2mm above the threads inside the body. Costs $2, not $100 for 4 caps. Aluminum adjustment rings suck ass on X-Maxx shocks when there is ANY dirt in the threads...trust me, I’ve made this mistake...
