Orion Motor Tech Brake Bleeder Kit, One Person 2.5L Brake Fluid Extractor Compatible with Ford VW BMW More, Brake Pressure Bleeder with 2.6qt Bottle Vacuum Gauge Hose Cap Wrench & European Adapter

Works well and eliminated the need to interrupt my wife's k-drama binge watching to come out and pump the pedal. Worth the price for that alone. Made for an easy, 1-person brake bleeding operation. So much easier, in fact, that I'm actually looking forward to using it again.

Did my brakes using this bottle to apply pressure to the master cylinder. This worked really well and held the pressure. It made my brake fluid change mist easier since it didn’t need two people. Really worth the money if you don’t have someone who can always help you pump the brakes and hold.

The product looks like it’s built very well but out of the box it wouldn’t build any pressure. It does come with more rubber seals which I did use and it did build pressure afterwards. I followed the instructions about first pressure testing the fittings with out any brake fluid, just to make sure there’s no leaks. It takes a lot of effort to get a good seal on the bottle and the master cylinder. Once I got it filled with brake fluid and pressurized it, I went to work on bleeding the first brake and I suddenly I could hear a hissing noise. The cap on the master cylinder had started to leak and just as I reached to see the problem, the cap blew off spewing brake fluid everywhere in the engine compartment and onto the garage floor, making a mess of everything. A lot of the mess could have been avoided if the bottle came with an easy open valve to quickly depressurize the bottle. Idk why the cap blew loose. I didn’t like that the quality of the rubber seals were so poorly made that a supplied wrench is needed to make a proper seal. I’m not going to go into design details but I’m a mechanic and a field engineer and I’ve never seen a tool that is specifically designed to do just one purpose, fail so drastically and not have a way to valve off the flow of fluid or able to vent the pressure off. This is designed for just what it did and that was to leak, blow off and make a mess. So I did what any engineer would do and threw the whole tool into the garbage. I do not recommend this product.

I purchased this power bleeder after reading reviews and watching a video mentioning recent quality issues with Motive Product's power bleeder. The video I watched recommended getting this bleeder instead. I purchased an adapter kit along with this bleeder, and other than having to change out the quick connect with a larger one to fit the adapters I bought, I had no problems. I used this to do a full brake fluid flush on my car and it was super easy and everything went smoothly. No issues with leaking whatsoever. Great product, highly recommended.

I ended up making a cap for it for a different type of vehicle than intended and thankfully I did because the original crimp clamp cut the hose. Also, their packaging technique is not very good, I had to send the first one back because the hand was snapped. I have a picture of the first one I received and how the second one was packaged.

If you are a DIY mechanic and bleeding the brakes was a bit intimidating, this is the product for you. I did a bit of research and this product was highly recommended. It is very sturdy and using it could not be easier. Just fill with your preferred brake fluid, attach it the master cylinder reservoir and pump it up to pressure. It comes with a custom wrench to tighten the tank cap that comes in very handy when you want to fill or empty the unit. Just bleed your brakes in the correct sequence and you are good to go.

This worked nicely for my 2014 Audi A4. The master cylinder adapter cap fit perfectly. Make sure you set up everything for a dry run with pressure bleeder tank empty, cap installed on reservoir and pump the unit up to around 10 lbs letting it sit for a couple of minutes to verify no pressure drop. After that add fluid to the tank , pump it up and bleed your system. When I was done bleeding, I slowly removed the pump cap to release the pressure before removing the hose from the master cylinder cap. I dinged it one star because it should have a proper pressure relief valve. Unit is compact and well made though a bit pricey for what it is, but the end result is one person can easily bleed a brake system

Update! When I contacted customer service, they were very prompt at issuing me a complete new unit at no charge, which arrived within three days. That's good customer service.I've used this now to flush the clutch and brakes on my Miata and the brakes on my van. I ordered the extra kit with additional reservoir adapters because the one that it comes with did not fit my minivan - even still it leaked a little.It does seem to function exactly as desired, but the pressure gauge doesn't show any pressure, even after the device has been pumped up quite a bit. Apparently the gauge on my particular unit is defective.
