Beef Supreme: Only thing I dont like is how when the air is connected, it IMMEDIATLY starts suction. I wish I could get it set up and throw a lever to start the suction, but for the price you cant beat it. I use this all the time and it has held up after years of use.

Dotty's Mom: I am a guy addicted to automotive tools, and this one didn't disappoint. It was purchased to assure there would be no trapped air pockets in the cooling system after flushing and replacing the thermostat on my 2016 E450 Ford RV chassis. The tool was even referenced in the Ford service manual.
It's made in Canada, primarily constructed of brass, with vinyl hoses, & the only plastic used appears to be in the filter screen and pressure gauge. It requires an air compressor to connect to. Includes a number of adapters to fit various cooling systems. This Ford has no radiator cap, but instead utilizes a pressurized over flow tank where it's filled. I next did an 80's Chevrolet, and connected directly to the radiator. Works great, no need to drive and "burp" the radiator repeatedly.
There are good videos showing it on YouTube. I highly recommend it.

Tyrrell W.: After reading the reviews on various tools of this sort and an immediate need for a this kind of tool I settled on this brand. I decided to go mid range on the price and this tool had high ratings. Not using a tool like this before to add coolant to a cooling system I was a bit apprehensive as to how it would work.
The application I needed it for was on a class A motor home that would not accept the fluids by gravity flow. I knew how much fluid I had drained from the system but could not inject the same amount by filling the recovery bottle, as this was the only means to get fluid into the system. The heater core being the highest component in the system seemed to create the problem. Upon a "How to" search I learned about the process of using the vacuum method to charge the system.
How did it work? --- The tool is well built and the adaptors that came with the tool served me well. I had to mount the tool on the recovery bottle and since I was changing all the hoses I put a vacuum test on the system to see how the tool worked. It pulled a heavy vacuum and held it for hours before I changed hoses. I did a radiator flush and had to add water to the system and all went...
