Hand Held Vacuum Pump Tester Set Vacuum Gauge and Brake Bleeder Kit for Automotive with Adapters Case

Works well. Great tool to have around. Makes diagnosing leaks and vacuum issues easy. It gets a lot of use.

Very nice. Helped me trouble shoot my turbo charges vacuum lines.

Overall, I am happy with this purchase. Yes, there is still an odor when you first open the case. I took the liberty of opening the case and allowed it to air ventilate for a week in the garage. The smell seems to be gone. I did not experience the handle grips coming off as mentioned in other reviews. However, the fix seems easy if it ever does happen. I was fortunate that the bleeder hose fit tight on the bleeder screws of my Ford without needing to use the provided adapters. However, I did experience one issue that I was able to rectify quickly. After completing one brake line bleed I noticed that the plunger, while squeezing the handles, was slowing down and seemed to be binding. I simply sprayed some silicone spray into the plunger area, and this fixed the problem. I disassembled everything for cleaning and storage but have found that the clear hose that attaches to the barbed brass fitting on the end of the handle assembly is on tight. I tried to remove it with pliers after spraying it with silicone but no luck. I finally resorted to cutting it off with a box cutter. While this is certainly a pain, it does demonstrate that the barbed fitting is indeed very tight fitting and holds a vacuum seal well. But again, for the price, all of this seems tolerable for a tool I will use every couple of years.

Great price and the tool seems well built , kinda of a cheap plastic gauge

Does it work? Yes. Is it easy? No. The little adapters included leak too much to properly hold, but maybe on larger bleeder screws it might seal better. I took to just stabbing the tube directly on the bleeder. With that it was not a confident seal and often the bubble trail you see is not from the brake line, but the tube misaligned enough to let air in. I had on hand a slightly smaller tube that had a tighter fit and this worked much better. The vacuum device was adequate, but in two situations the best results were from starting the flow and letting gravity work. Of course the hose seal is half the battle as the bleeder screw may let air pass through the threads to introduce air into the bleeder line. I've tried the teflon tape wrap trick with some success, but the small lump of butyl seemed to work best and with my box end bleeder wrench in position to give it a little smushing down to make a seal. I pick it out with a fine pick when down.

Very easy to use. Holds suction well. I used it to bleed the brakes in my Camry. A lot easier than having another person pushing on thw brakes. One note. Watch how you connect the hoses to the cup. One side goes to the pump, if you reverse it bad things happen 😂. Not really, you will have fluid in the pump handle. Messy. Got both front wheels done in 15 minutes. Also, the adapter doesn't super seal on the brakes drain valve, so when you open the valve to drain there are bubbles that aren't in the brake system. They uaimg thin wrench ao the adaper seals better.

Trash.. will not hold Vaccume. Not even for 1 second. Garbage...

Wow, this Tool kit CARSC from Amazon , is big HELP in finding what went wrong. The handheld Vaccum tool discovered the Fuel control valve was bad on my Brand new (less than > 1 mile ) Ice Bear scooter. Connected 2 pieces in the Kit(case) and unplugged the Vaccum hose on the engine and inserted from Hand held gauge & and the gasoline filled inside the clear hose, proof that the part was defective as fuel cannot go into the vaccum hoses on ANY engine. The tool was very helpful checking for EGR valve failure on Ford 460 V8 engine, discovered the EGR still moves and rerouted the hoses properly. It also Does a nice firm job bleeding the brakes after installing new Brake hoses & pads. Makes the brake pedal feel really firm. Looking forward to using the tool again as it leaps over obstacles, that would Prevent me a,Do it yourself repair and saves me from big Garage repair Bills.
