Performs well. Don't forget to put the gasket on. it's not identified as a gasket and there are no instructions to do so.

This bleeder makes doing a bleed job alone very easy. Fill it with fluid, attach the connector to the brake fluid bottle on the car, pump it up to pressurize, then start cracking bleeder screws loose. Easy as that.

Works efficiently compared to the conventional brake pedal pumping. Would be great if it is offered with the fluid reservoir adaptor to other car brands/models.

In the past I have had to have a second person to help me with the brake bleeding, which was a chore and a half...but with this bleeder, it is quick, efficient and most importantly much more effective, to be able to see the brake fluid change colors as the old fluid is flushed out is way better than hoping it was flushed out...easy to clean too, fill up with some denatured alcohol, pump up, and spray over some wood to burn and it's clean...

These power brake bleeders are an excellent addition to any mechanics tool set. We used a similar functioning product at the Volkswagen Dealership I worked at. It allows you to perform a complete bleed or brake flush in about 15 minutes, without a helper, and has always resulted in a firm pedal feel.

The Motive power bleeder makes bleeding your brake lines super easy, i've always relied on the two-person method but i figured i'd treat myself and try it out, well worth the money and will be doing brake fluid changes more frequently as a result. Don't forget to bleed your clutch as well if you're doing a MT volvo as well.

Love it!
Excellent product in my opinion. I've tried a vacuum pump before but always had to revert to the two-person method. Using this power bleeder I was able to change out some brake hoses and flush the entire brake system of old fluid very easily. I used the same technique as the other poster, just using the empty tank for the pressure. Worked out roughly to refilling the master cylinder for each wheel while doing the complete flush. I'm going to flush the brakes and clutch on my other car for next project (the cap fits both cars). Thanks power bleeder!!

Excellent Product
What a great way to bleed brakes! This is an excellent bleeder that feels like a quality product. The plastic is thick, and the fittings are crimped together firmly. Using a catch-cup or a clear piece of tubing routed into a drain pan, this is a very clean way to bleed brakes without fluid spraying everywhere. I didn't even get fluid on my hands. Very clean. Also in reference to a review below - Jacking up your car is certainly mandatory, but not owning a jack certainly isn't the fault of the product. Any do-it-yourselfer with even the most basic set of tools and garage equipment (the jack in your trunk will work) can use this product to its fullest extent.

I used this on my 2005 BMW 330i and it worked great for me. I used this just for the pressure. I didn't fill it up the container with fluid, I just made sure the master cylinder reservoir did not go dry. Easier cleanup.
