Pros: Great Value, Lightweight, Versatile, Good Fit, practicle
"What a great tool. Didn't look worth the money (it's in fact less than half the price of Aus) but so good to use. Bled brakes for the first time - never before. did it so easily before I went to work. Did it a second time with this - no problems. If you have Hydrolics and even fiddle a little bit with your bike you have to have this. I didn't bother with the other smaller kits after reading reviews.
Not sure how long it will last yet."

"Great product. Easy to use. I bled my brakes in a few minutes. Well worth the investment as opposed to going to bike shop for bleed."

Disasterous
Cons: Expensive, Poor Quality, instructions useless
"Not happy at all - and I'm a reasonably experience car and bike mechanic. Photos in instructions very poor (pixelated) no use at all. Instructions don't say how to fit parts together - had to guess - think I got it right. Attached syringe to bleed nipple, slackened bleed nipple, applied pressure to syringe - then nozzle flew off syringe, oil everywhere, nozzle lost, hose fell off nipple, oil drained out of caliper.
Now trying to work out how to bleed the brake without the kit."

Makes bleeding brakes easy
Pros: High Quality, clear instructions, easy to use, save money in long run
Cons: Expensive
"I am not particularly great at bike mechanics, I am one of those people that thumbles through rounding off bolt heads and making a right pickle of whatever I touch. A lot of comes down to a lack of patience. However, as we all know bike shops charge an arm and a leg for doing any work on your stead. Therefore I would rather thumble through and replace the odd bolt here and there when I break them.
Bleeding brakes always scared me, I first bought a simple syringe with piping to fit over the bleed nipple. It was fiddly to say the least and I had a lot of troubles. The expletives were brilliant. Since buying this kit I have had not a single trouble.
Admittedly the price is high but when you take into consideration the savings made by not getting a bike shop mechanic to fleece you then it is a good investment. The kit comes with clear instructions in a glossy finish for when, and you will, spill brake fluid on them.
A great kit, well built and easy to use. Recommended to all the bike mechanic novices looking to save some cash."

Worth the money
Pros: High Quality, Lightweight, Versatile
"Absolutely super product. Saves time 'tapping' the caliper to get air bubbles to rise to the reservoir and can bleed your system in less than a minute. Just clamp it on, flush your fluid through and voila!!
Clamp can be a fiddle but do it once and your away."
