They could do better. January 10, 2008

The cover does not seal tightly on the cup,after putting grease between the two, I was able to draw a vacuum. The cup/cover should be redesigned,
a little larger would be nice as well.
Need to use a lot of silicone grease(included)on the bleeder screw threads to get them to seal.
After fixing those two problems,the pump itself works great.
It's not made in USA.(Which helps China and hurts the US)
 Works, but mess due to bad design September 1, 2007

"easier brake bleeding without the mess" - unfortunately, that was not my experience.
1) a lot of my time/effort even after using sealing lubricant was spent ensuring that air does not enter through the gaps between the cup and the cup cover. The design of the cup is flawed - shouldn't the cup cover atleast tightly fit the cup?.
2) air leaked through the threads of the bleeder screw, and there isn't any way to prevent it. I don't know if other kits prevent this problem. Fortunately, this problem didn't have a severe impact on the outcome.
3) the glass on the vaccum dial broke even under normal use.
I hope Actron fixes design flaw #1 and #3.
 Brake Bleeding Made Easy February 1, 2007

I used the Actron kit to replace the brake fluid in my jeep. I removed the Master Cylinder cover, then sucked the fluid out each wheel cylinder bleed valve individually (while topping off the reservoir with fresh fluid) until each cylinder ran clean. It was a one man operation with all the bubbles coming out the bleed screw (I put some grease on the bleed screw fittings so my tygon tubing made a good seal). I bought an extra length of tygon tubing at the hardware store so I could have extra room.
