Makes bleeding brakes very quick and easy!

Neil H Verified Purchase

225Dx Economy Bleeder Tank

A breeze. With a Matco clear brake reservoir, bleeding the brakes was a two minute job.

Worked perfectly and restored the brakes on our Grumman Traveler AA5 to new after trying to bleed with a different tool.

Excellent

Works very well. Easy to set up and use. Quality design. Much better than a garden type sprayer. Save yourself the headaches and get one of these!

Best brake bleeder I ever bought. I do wish the hose were a tad longer, it would make it easier on low-wing aircraft. I did see some reviews that said it causes air bubbles in the brake fluid so did a few tests running 5606 through it and back into an empty quart container. If you pump it up to much then it foams the fluid. Use only a few pumps and keep the pressure down and the fluid will not foam. The container is really strong and will take a lot of pressure and a lot of abuse so its easy to over do it. Keep the pressure down and take an extra 20 seconds to bleed the brakes and you get a better result. I bleed a lot of breaks and I love this product!

Works well!!

Unbelievable!! Works like a champ!!

Works perfectly on my Cessna 210! Just recommend the purchase of a vinyl hose to attach to the fill hole at the top of the brake cylinder prior to bleeding. This will catch the excess fluid and provide visual indication of any air bubbles that are flushed out.

I replaced the bleeder assy with the McFarlane bleeder kit P/N MCBB-KT-5 on my T210M brakes. I had a few drops of fluid during the bleeding process. Tank worked as advertsed.

This is the correct way to bleed your brakes....via pressure vs. the old school way of pumping the brake lever. This unit flushes all the old 5606 fluid out and then removes all the stubborn air in the lines - especially in Piper aircraft. I spend hours trying to bleed the air out of a Piper Archer - this unit had it air-free in approx. 15 minutes.

The tank works great but I can't get either adapter to seal on any bleeder I have attempted to connect to, Cleveland or otherwise. I have to jam small o-rings between the bleeder and the adapter in addition to firmly holding the adapter in place to get more fluid in the aircraft than what runs out on the ground. Flow through the adapters is extremely slow. I have become so disgusted with the Cleveland adapter I don't even keep it with the tank. I recently found a $15 hobby store solution that works much easier, cleaner and faster.

Worked great when we first bought it for our shop. After about a year of constant use and 5606 in the tank. The seal have finally broken. Great tool for home builders that buy a quart or two of 5606 and let the tool sit dry. Not so much for a shop. If you do use it for a shop, make sure its store dry, and rinse the system as an extra precaution.

It works, but as stated before has serious design flaws. The hose is ridiculously stiff and heavy, and makes the tank fall over when ever you try to move it. You have to attach the fitting, then carefully place the tank in exactly the right spot so the hose wont make it fall over. Would be better off a $10 garden sprayer from Home Depot and attachment for the bleeder valve.

I purchased this item to bleed the brakes on my Piper Arrow. I was unable to get a good seal on the Cleveland bleed nipple and the available pressure was unsatisfactory to bleed the brakes.

The concept is good. Implementation is bad. Hose is way too stiff. Valve is very stiff. Tank is top heavy and falls over easily. Could be improved very easily.

POS the connection to the bleeder doesnt seal leaks, puts air into the system what we are trying to remove. Need to have a better way to connect to the bleeder and the hose needs to be clear so we can see air in the line. It would be nice if we could see the oil level in the container I would not suggest this POS to anyone

This bleeder, due to its pressurization system, puts too much micro air in the brake lines. After an hour or so of bleeding this air will re-collect and causing the brakes being soft again. Getting this micro air out of the system took me 3 weeks (2 hours per day intensive bleeding with another, gravity feed bleeder and a vacuum sucking on the remote reservoir) I would, but I cant return due to used condition
