Mityvac Brake Bleeding Kit
Works great at a great price. I am very happy with this product, both as a brake bleeder and as a vacuum pump.

Great tool
Simple one person operation. Works great for bleeding brakes or complete fluid change, just don't forget to keep the master cylinder reservoir full.

works good
Draws the brake fluid out pretty decent. Also, easy to use. Attached drain bottle make it more simply. There is also a metal brake bleeder Mitivac makes.

Cars, Trucks and Motorcycles
Although it is of descent quality it will not pull enough fluid to make a brake bleeding job any faster than the conventional way, with an assistant pumping the pedal. A car or truck’s master cylinder pushes considerably more fluid thru the system. However, on an ATV or motorcycle it seems to do a fine job.
They can be more time consuming than autos. This product actually speeds the job up when used on these machines. Only 4 stars because it lacks performance on autos.

Better than competitors
This is the second vacuum brake bleeder i've purchased. The first was from an auto parts store, same price but different brand. It broke before i got to the 4th wheel. This MityVac bleeder seems sturdier and holds a vacuum better than the other brand.

Decent for price, not decent unit.
For bleeding a brake or clutch line this will work, but not without a lot of pain and discomfort. It DOES work as it should, however the negative pressure required to get the unit to actually suck the fluid is very high and maintaining this pressure level with a hand pump is virtually impossible. On top of that only a small amount of fluid trickles out despite fervent pumping. HIGHLY recommend paying the money for a pressure bleeding system, or an automatic vacuum bleeding system and avoid wasting money on the hand pump type.

One person brake bleeding
Excellent tool quality, built well for an inexpensive solution to properly bleeding brakes and removing air in the brake system.
CONS: A bit difficult to use in tight spaces normally associated with brake bleeder valves. Container tended to leak.

Excellent product
I purchased this to bleed the hydraulic clutch system on my car and it worked great. I already have other projects in mind that this tool will come in handy for. There are so many potential automotive repair uses for this tool so it's a great item to have in your tool chest.

good pump good price
This is a pretty good pump for the price. It is not a durable as the aluiminium body one but is also more than half the price. Comes with a lot of good accessories. Good for a low use application like at home wouldn't recommend full shop use.
