Thanks for watching! Very much appreciated. I still use mine but have to keep an eye on movement at the roll pin. If they sorted that it would be cracking tool. Cheers! 👍

Thank you. Was going to buy on as a present for dad and now wont waste $$$$$ on this garbage. Thanks

[@2HopesGarage]

Oh no! Poor Dad! Get him something nice! I don't want to be at fault for no pressie! Thanks for watching and commenting - always greatly appreciated. 👍 Mine was a present too - I do like aspects of it but the handle design/ build quality is frustrating. Good luck with your Dad's present 🎁. Cheers!

Thanks for this! Been eyeing one up because I figured it'd be a better option than all the Far East crap that's on amazon, im.not so sure it is, given the price! Disappointing

Thanks for watching! Very much appreciated!👍 I had been considering getting one for ages then finally got it as a present. I still use it but ultimately am a bit disappointed with the quality of the handle attachment. It could be so much better.
Cheers again! All the best.👍

@@2HopesGarage Is there one you do recommend?

[@2HopesGarage]

Hi Mark! Firstly thanks for watching and for the comment/ question - very much appreciated. I’d actually be struggling to recommend one now! I’ve tried a few including Eezibleed, Vizibleed and the no name Chinese pumps and haven’t been massively impressed with any of them! I had hoped this was the one - I still use it but it has its problems! Motive Power and Sealey brake bleeders are meant to be good but I’ve not tried them.
The best results I’ve had were gravity bleeding my old C4 Corvette - it was time consuming but easy. Let me know if you find a good one!
All the best and thanks again for watching! 👍

@@2HopesGarage The one Stihl makes looks good. I may only need a pressure tester, which would be cheaper, you would think. Walbro makes a ridiculously expensive one of these.

[@2HopesGarage]

I’ve not seen either of those two over here. Stihl generally makes nice kit. I’m not familiar with Walbro equipment. I’ll need to keep an eye out for them. Good luck with getting something that works for you. 🤞 All the best! 👍
