Loading... Please wait...Comprehensive workshop vacuum pump kit in it's own case (red, not blue as shown)
The kit includes case, vacuum pump, 120ml fluid reservoir, tubing and various adaptors for brake bleeding. The hand operated pump crates a vacuum which rapidly pulls the fluid through the system via the bleed nipple into the fluid reservoir, eliminating need to use the brake lever or pedal.
VERY easy to use as the stored vacuum created in the reservoir allows both hands free to work on the bleed nipple and spanner. As it is a vacuum drawing the fluid, as opposed to pressure pushing it, you don't get the brake fluid finding its way out round the threads of the nipple or leaking out of the pipe everywhere either. SO much easier and neater.
Perfect for not only bleeding, but also for replacing old fluid in the system with new. Important on all ABS equipped vehicles. Perfect for use on cars as well as bikes. Where as you might normally avoid stripping your calliper down because bleeding it afterwards is such a nightmare - this makes it ridiculously easy. Even on systems notoriously difficult to bleed. You will be amazed at the difference in your brakes just by servicing your callipers.
The manual pump with pressure gauge also allows testing of many vacuum operated systems, e.g. fuel pumps, carburettors, etc.

We have one of these in our workshop. The vacuum is very powerful and because of the jar which collects the waste fluid you can "charge" it with vacuum which leaves two hands free when bleeding. Any leaks are under vacuum rather than pressure so you never get any drips or nasty surprises! You can empty a front brake reservoir in about 5 seconds – so you can see how powerful it is at pulling the fluid – and any air – though the system. Expensive but brilliant!
