OEMTOOLS 25136 Automotive Tune-Up and Brake Bleed Kit w/ Vacuum Gauge, No-Mess, No-Leak Brake Bleeder Kit Adapters, Green Hand Vacuum Tester, Durable and Easy-to-Use

I haven't had this product for long so I can't report on it's long-term durability, but I am very pleased with the quality and useability, especially considering the price. This package says only OEM, but the pump is branded Mityvac and I believe that it's sold under that name as well. The product appears to be designed and sold by Lincoln Industrial of St. Louis, MO. It is manufactured in China. See [...] This set looks a lot like the model MV7000 with one fewer right-angle bleeder adapters. Note however that the MV7000 is rated to produce 25 PSI pressure. The OEM 25136 I received from Amazon can only develop 12 PSI (measured on two separate guages) The set comes with a nice selection of adapters for attaching the pump lines to various vacuum ports and even some plugs for plugging hoses you've temporarily removed for testing. Another accessory that's worth mentioning is a collection vessel that allows the pump to be used for bleeding brake systems or other small hydraulic control systems. It also has two different right-angle adapters for attaching to common automotive bleed fittings. What I didn't expect is that the pump has a second port that can apply pressure. This could be useful for testing controls the require a pressure signal rather than a vacuum signal and can supply up to 12 PSI. By the way, the vacuum port can produce a 25"Hg vacuum as advertised. The pump is very easy to operate to draw a vacuum or apply pressure, requiring only modest hand strength. It has a trigger that can be pulled to release the pressure/vacuum when you're done testing. The release is "all at once" and would be difficult to modulate if that was important. Drawing the vacuum can be done with reasonable precision. Applying pressure is less precise since it's developed by the strength of the pump handle's return spring. But can be modulated if necessary by taking small strokes with the pump. Another unexpected plus is the user manual. It contains 23 well written pages that describe how to use the tool as well as diagnostic proceedures and some theory of operation for PCV valves, EGR valves, Spark Delay valves, electrical/vacuum solenoids, thermal controlled vacuum switching valves (called PVS, TIC, and DTVS by Ford, Chrysler, and GM respectively). The manual also has a section on brake bleeding as well as cautions when working with ABS systems. It even has a separate section dealing with motorcycle brakes and bench bleeding master cylinders. For some reason there are an additional three test procedures specifically for Lawn Boy mower primer bulbs, fuel inlet valve, and tank shut-off valve. The content is repeated in Spanish, French, and German for a total of 70 pages. Even though I have a pretty good general understanding of the systems discussed in the manual, I actually learned quite a few tips and tricks that I didn't know. It was well worth the read. One thing to note is that the documentation specifically prohibits the use of this pump with flammable liquids and gases. I suspect that this is more for safety and legal reasons than anything else. But, who knows, maybe the pump seals wouldn't handle the solvent power of gasoline or alcohols. Air and brake fluid are officially supported and that's what I bought it for anyway.

Did not work for my brake job but I'm not saying it wouldn't work for you. My brake calipers were Chinese made (Onaion Reeper) so that might have something to do with it? I had to buy a vacuum pump that hooked up to my air tank, that did work for me.

This is not OEM branded but rather MityVac. It claims to perform a whole manner of tests. I was only using it for a brake bleed. It broke the first time I used it, so the name is inappropriate. I had to grease the seals to get a solid vacuum. With reasonable handling a piece of the vacuum gauge housing popped off, followed by the faceplate. I would have been better off with a home made catch can for 30 cents.

While the packaging is labeled OEM, the pump and manual are both from MityVac. This unit did work very well to bench bleed my master cylinder. When it came to bleeding my brakes, this unit was sub-par. It did seem to do it's job although not as good as I had hoped. After the first use, the canister seems to have a leak around the mating surface. Using Teflon Tape as recommended did seem to help a little. I ended up using the traditional bleeding method along with the canister, tubing and fittings. The vacuum pump did little in that department. It works, but not the best.

Granted, I've never used a different brake bleeding tool. I borrowed one identical to this from a friend and it works so well I had to get one of my own. Definitely read the directions and save yourself some time off the trial and error. It works exactly as described and I had no issues.

I purchased because I thought it would make bleeding brakes easier but really nothing beats the old school way of doing that. Great idea but I think it needs improvement but it works just takes longer the only advantage of this is that you can do it by yourself without having that extra person pumping the brakes and holding the pedal down.

Great for preventing any air in your brake lines when bleeding the brakes. Wish it came with instructions though. Good price. Would recommend

I looked all over to find the right pump to use when bleeding brakes. My father-in-law had this specific model and I searched high and low, only to find it on amazon at a great price. The pump is actually a Mityvac and is resold under the OEM label. It worked well, however we had to sand the mating surfaces of the collection container and apply a little fluid there to get the best seal possible. We definitely got our money's worth out of it and we saved a lot of money doing this ourselves.

Unfortunately DOA. I bought it because there were a lot of positive reviews. I ignored the negative ones, unfortunately. I returned it.

Acabo de recibir el artículo y no corresponde a la foto en la publicación como que es otro modelo, pero bueno lo probaré haber qué tal funciona...

Purchased this in 2022 & used only time. Yesterday when I did replace my car break pads, then started to bleed the system. It was not working. So this tool does not stand for even light duty . Find another one that is better than this

I haven't had or used this product for long so I can't report on it's long-term durability, but I am very pleased with the quality from using it so far especially considering the price. There did seem some controversy over this as i didn't know what type i was going to get the plastic Mityvac or the metal OEM tools one so it was a toss up because both pictures are shown but still purchased because i was curious to know. Arrival, drum roll please (the metal gold one with the green handle). AHHHH exactly which one i wanted because this seems to be the more durable one with the solid handle than the plastic one. In plain words it's made in China but for the plastic one the package says OEM but probably branded as a Mityvac. Some seem to think this can apply pressure and it will NOT as it will only apply a vacuum. The one i received goes down to about 30 in-hg but do not expect it to go down that far. The set comes with nice selection of adapters for attaching the pump lines to various vacuum ports and even some plugs for plugging hoses you've temporarily removed for testing. Another accessory that's worth mentioning is a collection container that allows the pump to be used for bleeding brake systems. It also has two different right-angle adapters for attaching to common automotive bleed fittings which is great because they brake bleed function is nice for the DIY. The pump is very easy to operate to draw a vacuum which only requires about 3-5 pumps and most likely achieved full vacuum. It has a trigger that can be pulled to release the vacuum when you're done testing. Something to note is the release to release the vacuum is done all at once and cannot be modulated to release it slowly as some may want to know that as it could be important. Applying pressure is less precise since it's developed by the strength of the pump handle's return spring. Another thing i thought was good to have is it contains 23 well written pages that describe how to use the tool as well as diagnostic procedures and some theory of operation for PCV valves, EGR valves, Spark Delay valves, electrical/vacuum solenoids, thermal controlled vacuum switching valves (called PVS, TIC, and DTVS by Ford, Chrysler, and GM). The manual also has a section on brake bleeding as well as cautions when working with ABS systems. The user manual is really helpful for others that are DIY's and don't understand the full technical reasoning behind it. There is some really useful tips and tricks in the book i thought were good even though i am a mechanic. Another note is that the manual states that it prohibits the use of this pump with flammable liquids and gases. I suspect that this is more for safety but up to you on how and what your use is for. Overall i used this sometimes daily and haven't had an issue. The storage bin is just a plastic storage tray with cut out but what i did it cut around the plastic and stuck in my drawer and just pull the plastic cover off and use the tool. Every time i am finished it goes back in storage. The tool has held up quite well and seems to be very decent quality for the price i paid because i see some prices for reactivity the same sets and goes upwards to $100 so i think this was a fairly good price for what you get. I have used this to test for many 4x4 related problem on Fords with the vacuum system (cough, st&@$d cough) design but seems to work well. Otherwise the product was a good investment and an added tool to my collection.

Muy mala calidad
