Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

"...can order a 6’ hose for this from the manufacturer and the price overall is reasonable. I remember paying $160 for my last one in the mid-90s!" Read more
Customers have mixed opinions about the suction of the hardware tubing. Some mention that it has amazing suction, enough to empty the reservoir and pull fluid through the lines. However, others say that it would not produce enough suction to pull brake fluid out of the line, drawing in lots of air and very little brake fluid.
"...it started spitting and sputtering from the exhaust and the vacuum stopped. I had to let it sit for a few minutes and then tried it again...." Read more
"...I do like that you can use this for general vacuum suction but again, that's not something worth $100 when a $3 syringe will work...." Read more

"...The suction is plenty to empty the reservoir and also pull fluid thru the lines...." Read more
Customers are mixed about the fit of the hardware tubing. Some mention that it fits well in the car, and is compact in size. The bleeding nipple is flexible and fits snuggly over the port. However, other customers say that the parts are cheaply made and do not fit well, and that it does not include fitting for smaller bleed nipsles.

"...The nipple on the vacuum end fit very securely and would stay on with out me needing to hold it in place...." Read more
"...The plastic parts are cheaply made and do not fit well but seems to work ok." Read more
"...It's clearly not one size fits all." Read more
Customers are mixed about the fluid drain. Some mention that it sucks out fluid at an ideal rate, while others say that it pulls the fluid a lot slower than expected.
"...Overall, it's just okay. Pricey and honestly not that much time was saved because I had to doublecheck my bleeding to make sure all the air got out...." Read more
"...Draining used fluid is suer easy by removing the anodized aluminum cap in the top (catch basin does not separate from vacuum handle)...." Read more
"...This does mean that it performs a little slowly due to the low PSI...." Read more
"...After it’s first initial use was good, after that performance goes down...." Read more
Customers are dissatisfied with the air resistance of the tubing. They say it tends to pull air in around the bleed screw threads. They also say the air comes into the brake line after using it. Customers recommend adding Teflon tape to the threads to prevent air from getting in.
"...This causes the suction line to pull air, so it is very difficult to tell if air is in the line." Read more
"...My only issue was that it consumes a lot of air, and I had to recharge my 3 gallon compressor several times to finish all 4 wheels...." Read more
"...I found it impossible to not pull in some air at the hose attachment to the bleeders...." Read more
"...I would give the unit five stars except for the issue with the air. Would I recommend? Sure. It still worked...." Read more

Because this thing is awesome! First one I ordered was trashed during shipping... with the air port sticking out of a hole the box when it arrived. NO THANKS! I decided to return that one because I figured it was probably damaged somehow by the idiots also called UPS. Second one I bought was in better shape when it arrived, so I used that one. Like others said in their negative comments, it does pull air in to the rubber bleeder adapter, but so what. It still pulls plenty of fluid, and there is NO way any of that air is getting in the caliper. You would need a negative pressure in the lines for that to happen, and this thing is always pulling a vacuum when activated.
I did have two other issues though, but again, it worked so well that it still gets 5 stars. First issue is that after using continually for about 10-15 minutes, it started spitting and sputtering from the exhaust and the vacuum stopped. I had to let it sit for a few minutes and then tried it again. It then worked for a minute or two and then started spitting and sputtering again. Was barely able to finish the second caliper because of this. NOW, this may be caused by water in my air line or maybe not... I do not know what the cause. After a few days I tried again and it worked fine. I do have a line drier installed but it may not be working well enough for a continuous compressor run. This thing pulls a pretty awesome vacuum at 120 psi, but obviously your compressor will have a harder time keeping up, as mine barely did. Second problem is that mine leaked brake fluid from the vacuum port on the lid while in use. Not sure if the fitting in the lid was not installed tightly, but it did leak fluid onto the lid when in use. I did not see a way to tighten the fitting, as I was unable to remove the lid to check the underside. Did not leak a ton, but in my opinion, it should not leak at all. SO... in the end, I returned it because of that. In spite of the leak and spitting/sputtering issues, I absolutely will buy another when I need it. This thing is hands down AWESOME, and easily allows a 1 man bleed job. The fluid pull is slow enough that you can lock on the handle and stand at the reservoir to keep it topped off. Add a little extra above the max fill line, and by the time you get back to the caliper to tighten the bleed screw, your reservoir is right where it needs to be - and the job is done. I bled all 4 calipers on a 2008 Mitsu Lancer with the spongiest brakes I ever felt, and the pedal is now ROCK SOLID!!! Thank you Capri Tools! Again, I will absolutely buy another... hopefully one that does not leak.
I have had zero issues with this units performance and very glad I spent a little extra to get this over some of the 30 and 40 dollar units I was looking at.
As far as some of the reviews go about taking the top off. There is no need, there is a little blue cap with an oring that allows you to drain the contents.
The first vehicle was an 85 mustang that I completely redid the brake system and was completely dry when I started. Added fluid to master cylinder and went through each caliper and pulled fluid. Just to be sure I did a 2 man bleed at each corner to verify and only got a couple bubbles on the farthest corner. Otherwise this bleeder did a phenomenonal job.
The next I performed a rotor/pad and complete system flush on a 2011. Same concept. Started at passenger side rear and bled until clear fluid, went to driver side rear then passenger side front followed by driver side front.
Was able to pull all dirty fluid until clear.
I immediately drove truck to bed pads onto rotors and brake pedal was as expected.
I plan on using this for a suburban I have as well. With just one system flush this unit has more than paid for itself versus paying a shop to do it.
Construction is solid. Was packaged nice and will be a great addition to my tools.
For everyone trying to take the entire top off I'm not sure why you would want to. It is easy to use and only somewhat aggravating to drain at best. I found it an easy process.
If you are on the fence as I was while looking for one of these. This is a great buy and great tool.

Each wheel only took a few minutes. I've done this job numerous times with a hand operated unit - it does the same thing, but it's messier, takes longer, and is hard on your hand. This vacuum bleeder makes the job much nicer - should have bought it years ago.
Some reviewers have said that a large compressor is need to make the tool work. I used a 1 hp, 2.4 cfm@90psi , 4 gal unit that worked just fine for the job. Maybe a more powerful compressor would've made the job a little faster, but you don't absolutely need one.
Also, some reviewers have mentioned that there was a lot of air in the suction lines, that they thought was air from the brake system - it's not - it's likely from around the loose threads of the bleeder screw. No need to worry about it, as the tool is pulling new fluid through the lines from the master cylinder. When I was done my job, the brakes still worked fine.
When the job was done, the unit was only about half full of old fluid, so no need to dump it until the job is finished. Then, you just pull out the metal cap from the top of the unit and dump the old fluid.
The unit seems like its made fairly decent too - it doesn't feel cheap and flimsy. The quick connect air supply line and suction fittings work well. Silicone suction tube is much better than cheap plastic tube.
Conclusion: Great tool for replacing or bleeding brakes.
