Bleeds brakes better than my previous bleeder.
Had one kindof like this one before, but used it two times before it started leaking. This one seems to be much better build quality and holds pressure perfectly. Definitely recommend for filling/ bleeding brakes.

Cap Not Correctly Threaded
Cap for the vehicle reservoir was mis-threaded, and leaked. Totally useless. Returned for credit.

Works well, may need to modify. Not for daily/professional use. Good for DIY.
BMW tech. Pros, easy to top off, good capacity, bleed off valve. Con, the coupler is not the best. Got this for Christmas recently, and I’ve used this roughly 5 times. The O-ring for the coupler is not really the best quality because it’s already leaking. Took the coupler apart because I was planning on replacing the seal, but couldn’t make it work. So I cut the line, and used a vacuum fitting to make the hose step up to a larger size. With a larger hose I clamped it directly to the master cylinder adapter. After this fix it works perfectly after a lot of use with no leaks. Personally, if this had a better coupler I would rate it 5 stars. Bonus, would love to have a valve at the end of the line to cut off flow so it’s not messy when not in use. Update, cap gave up too, but the tank still works great. 1/2020. Tank seal gave out, and the unit no longer holds pressure.

3.5 Star A Couple Of Design Flaws, Not Recommended For The Automotive Repair Center.
***Edit to my original review*** After being contacted by the seller in regards to my review, and it’s unfairness in comparison to a tool that costs 3x more (MityVac), I have decided to amend my original review. I added an additional star only because Amazon does not do half stars. Imo, this product deserves a 3.5 star rating, because although it can not compare to a commercial grade tool such as the MityVac, it still falls short in certain categories when compared to other products in the same price tier. For example: Schwaben makes a similar brake bleeder for the same price (actually cheaper due to a current sale as of this review) which does not have the same shortcomings in design that this product does. The Schwaben unit comes with a quick-to-connect fitting for the master cylinder cap. Also, the hose connection at the unit free spins, allowing ease of movement and placement. The hand pump is also made of a much sturdier plastic that will probably withstand daily use at an automotive shop if proper care is taken. Overall, I feel these slights in design will prove tedious, and cumbersome even for it’s intended target demographic. I also feel they will shorten the life, and usefulness of the tool, and affect the overall ownership experience.This product is of decent quality for the weekend warrior, or as a backup for a main unit. Not recommended for the professional automotive milieus. Unfortunately for me, my old MityVac Brake bleeder finally gave way, and I needed a suitable replacement. I stumbled upon this one whilst perusing Amazon, and decided to give it a try. I didn’t get very far. As soon as I took it out of the packaging, I knew this would not work for me. Firstly, the handle and pump mechanism is made of very brittle plastic, and the mechanism is simply a plastic piston pressed onto a handle with an o-ring as a seal to create the pressure. I just cannot see that lasting for many brake jobs. The other noticable flaw is the feed hose to the master cylinder adapter cap. It is made of a frosty plastic that will harden very quickly. It is also permanently secured on with one time use clamps which would make servicing that hose more tedious than it should be, plus the aforementioned permanent connection. The cap is best used with a quick-to-connect fitting.All in all, I returned it, and decided to get another MityVac. Well worth the money. Mine lasted 8 years.

Works well
This pressure bleeder makes bleeding the brakes on my 2010 335i a breeze. I bled all 4 corners in less than an hour. That includes all the time spent jacking my car up and removing the tires. All I had to do was fill the bleeder with fresh brake fluid, attach the cap onto the brake reservoir, pump up to 10psi, and then crack open the bleeder ports. Before buying this I would have to grab my wife to help me pump the brake pedal so I could bleed them. This bleeder is definitely faster and more convenient since I can do it myself, no nagging from the wife either!Be aware that this bleeder doesn't come with a bag or bottle to catch all the fluid you're bleeding out. Wasn't a big deal for me as a 10" piece of vinyl tubing and a empty water bottle did the trick.

Poor quality
Pump shaft will not tighten down keeps coming loose. Hose was leaking straight out of the box. Seal on the adapter to brake reservoir leaks making a big mess while trying to use. This is the replacement the first one had the same issue with the pump shaft not being able to be tightened. It's cheaply made.

Great product. Easy to use. Works well.
Easy to use and a money saver for the occasional "doityourselfer". I exchanged the brake fluid in my BMW car and SUV in one afternoon.

Excellent Purchase!
I used this to bleed my brakes while I was doing a full brake job - pads and rotors. I was pleasantly surprised at how well this pressure bleeder worked since I finished in like... 15 minutes on the first try. The best part is you don't have to keep an eye on the fluid level. Just pump the tank and crack open the bleed valves.The tank was much bigger than needed; I poured two 12 oz bottles of BMW dot 4 brake fluid and it wasn't even half filled.
