Mityvac MV6835 Premium Pneumatic Air Operated Brake and Clutch Bleeding Kit

Works like a champ, I'm a professional mechanic and use this daily and have for going in a year now, and it still works perfectly and reliably. Super strong suction, easy to use, and all the pieces are well made.

I bought this to bleed the brakes on my Dodge Ram when I upgraded the rotors and pads and found it to be so easy to use that I exchanged the brake fluid in my wife's Honda too. It truly makes brake maintenance a one person job and I didn't even use the automatic fluid adder (the rate of fluid transfer can be adjusted so that you can stand at the reservoir and fill as needed while you watch the old fluid in the clear tubing change to the color of the new, clean fluid). There are loads of YouTube videos showing people using the machine so that is a good way to start if you are hesitant to purchase the bleeder. Now for my favorite part of this machine. Look in the picture and you will see a clear, flexible plastic tube attached to a rigid plastic tube. Using this setup I have effortlessly flushed the power steering systems of our cars and changed the oil in all the yard care machines. With this setup and pair of cheap nitrile gloves I did three small engine oil changes with not a drop spilled or greasy hands. Pour whatever used/dirty fluid is in the Mityvac container into an appropriate container and recycle. Everything about this bleeder is quality. The plastic parts are thick and sturdy and the metal parts are chrome plated and solid. You will need a decent compressor to use this. I use a 25 gallon compressor and it runs continuously while I am using the bleeder, but it works fine and provides decent vacuum. I don't think I would try it with anything smaller though...pancake type compressors probably would not work. In summary: Easy to use Performs many tasks related to draining fluids Allows jobs to be performed with nearly zero mess/cleanup Requires a decent compressor Lots of video available showing people using the bleeder Automatic fluid feeder included, but I have not used it

"Truly" is a one Man Job ,and had NO issues with the unit during the bleeding process . One thing I did do, was a modification to the bleeding tube because the supplied adapters did not have a air tight fit so I cut about 2' piece of clear rubberized tubing and put it in the tube adapter and the tag end fit snugly around the bleeder fitting , I realize it will draw air from around the threaded fitting but that can be minimized with the silicone grease . The refill bottle that mounts on your reservoir worked Great as well ,after mounting it on I adjusted so it would always keep it at the full mark . All in All the MityVac saved "" alot "" of time and was a shier delight to add to my arsonial . UPDATE""had this now just over two years, and have done several brake jobs and it is still going strong with no issues and has reduced my time significantly. If you do your own brake jobs and do not have one" you do not know what you're missing ! Highly recommend this too you. Adding grease around all threaded Spickets is very important to minimize air flow into the line.

I wasn’t sure what to get, prices and options for this type of thing are all over the place just like the reviews! I decided on this one, you get what you pay for, this thing is solid both in quality as far as how it’s made, I have no doubt if taken care of this will last forever. It works just as good as it’s made! Very strong suction power from my 29 gallon compressor no issues at all. I’m not sure why the other reviews had issues. Out of the box it is great and does what you want it to! I’m glad I went with this one because it works and it’s built like a tank. No problem installing refill bottle on an older dual reservoir master cylinder, 1974 corvette, but be careful it will overfill if wide open.

I purchased this item (versus a no-name equivalent) only because it was on sale for 47% off. IMHO it is not worth the normal $300+ price to me. Quality of the kit is fine, manufacturer needs to stamp the 60psi max air supply rating into the plastic, IMHO. Luckily I read the booklet it came with. I used it within a day of receiving it to change the old brake fluid in my work vehicle, which went fine, and I intend to primarily use it on a motorcycle, which needs it's brake and clutch fluids changed every 2-3yrs. Device will not work with Russell fittings (bleeders with checkvalves) though, my truck has them on the front calipers. The Mityvac could not overcome the force needed to open them. No issues. Everything seems well made.

No more up and down, up and down. No more wife leaving for the rest of the day because I wasn't sensitive enough, or I was yelling and commanding her. I bled my clutch and brakes with this device and it worked very well when my compressor was on maximum pressure (6HP, 33 gallon, 220 V). With the compressor set on less than maximum, it hardly works. The 4 little bleed screw attachments are a joke. They are too big and barely hold on the bleed screw. I replaced it with a short piece of vacuum hose, so it stayed on the bleed screw and that worked perfect. The instructions indicate you will get bubbles because of the loose fit of the bleed screw attachments. When the fluid comes out while bleeding, it does not fill the clear tube like manual bleeding. It looks like foam is coming out. I just trusted it and the brakes bled hard in the end. I was impressed with the quality of the tool and would recommend it to anyone who bleeds brakes and can afford it. Worked like a charm, but you will need a good compressor.

Bleeding brakes sucks. Bleeding clutch slave cylinders sucks. Changing fluids in general sucks. This makes it so much easier. No more calling friends to come help "pump the brake", no more getting the eye roll from your wife/gf when they don't make it and you ask them. This take 5 minutes to set up, 5 minutes to bleed, and 5 minutes to clean up. No more pumping brakes for hours because of a stubborn air bubble in some line, no more messy garage floor or driveway. This made cake of bleeding a clutch in a Mazda pickup earlier I struggled with for two straight days. I cannot tell you how bad I wish I bought this first. Added bonus is you can use it to bleed the power steering and all sorts of other fluids. Do some research, look at what the boiling point of brake fluid does after a few years and you'll want to change it every other year, and you can do it with this for under 10 bucks yourself in less than an hour.

Best one I own had plenty of accessories

Fantastic product. Works exactly as advertised and eliminates all guesswork for gear heads who like to change their own brake fluid without the need for a helper. I also used it to replace a good portion of the power steering fluid in my vehicle.

Excellent product good price

Good easy to use

Très satisfait

Vacuum could be stronger, otherwise good.
