S&G Tool Aid 14600 Battery Filler Rubber Bulb

Update 3/2015: It's been 9 months now and it is still working perfectly with no leaks! 6/2014 Original Review: It worked fine for my needs and I am using it in a non-standard way. I have it filled with water and red food coloring and mounted bulb down with a 2 foot clear plastic tube mounted to the tip. Visualize a large old-style thermometer. I use it so I may pull my car into my garage as close to some shelves as possible without damaging the shelves or the car. When the car's front bumper just touches the bulb, the red colored water rises in the clear tubing telling me that I'm there. I've had it installed for a couple of months and it's worked perfectly and has not leaked. I did put some compression tape around the seal where the tip joins the bulb to prevent any leakage given it was going to be upside down all of the time. If it works for this, I'm confident it will work as a standard battery filler bulb.

Would highly recommend and buy again. Slap it on a hose and now your siphoning, or just added too much coolant/power steering fluid? No problem, just suck a little out. it's awesome. The red bulb comes off relatively easily for cleaning. I haven't tried to maintain it at all, and maybe harsh car chemicals will degrade the rubber, someone more careful might try hard to keep it from chemicals sitting in it. So far I haven't seen any problems or damdage.

Tendency to drip due to the opening size but works ok,

Easy to see and uses

Great little accessory for watering my golf cart's batteries. Only quibble is when you suck the water up, some of it dribbles back out on the way to the fill cap. It only holds several ounces/ML of water with each pull so this is just to keep your batteries topped off, not for filling a new battery or one that is bone dry.

This is a great tool for something like hydraulic fluid (which is what I used it for) but not for acid. The unit is made in two pieces. The bulb and the probe. If you squeeze the bulb too hard, the probe will separate from the bulb and fluid will pour out everywhere. No big deal with power steering fluid, but a very big deal with battery acid.

The bulb holds up real well... I rinse it out after every use. The seal works as good as any others I used. I mainly suck brake fluid out and install fresh fluid. I prefer this design best, since I can clean it with my fingers, unlike than the dinky bulbs.

Received product next day. Would recommend this seller
