Mityvac MV6830 Professional Pneumatic Air Operated Brake & Clutch Bleeder

Ok, I got this witn somewhat low expectaions. I was very happy when it worked so well. It was easy to use, and worked like a charm. I bled the hydrolic cluch on my classic mini cooper in about 5 minutes, on my own, with no air bubbles or "oops...do it again" moments. Just hook it up as discribed in the directions, connect the air line in, and bleed away. I haven't used it for my brakes yet, but the cluch was so easy, I am considering it just to feel more secure about having new fluid in all of the lines. Also, I didn't use the attachment that keeps the resevar full, I just stopped and checked once or twice when I saw how much fluid was coming through. Super Easy, Super Effective. Great Buy!! You would spend 3 times this to get the job done at a shop, and twice this on asprin trying to get it right the old fasioned way...If you like working on cars, buy this, you won't regret it. One more great feature is that you can use it for just about any fluid. It has no electric pump so flamibles are not a problem. I drained the gas tank on my 1969 Honda CB350 in about 3 min so I could make some repairs...very cool!! One note, you must have a compressor to use this tool.

I'm impressed with this tool. It is simple, well built, and effective. The tank is thick plastic; the chromed air inlet fitting swivels to all angles; the handle and air valve fit your hand. I especially like the quick disconnect fitting for the suction lines. Because the vehicle was far from my shop, I used a small portable compressor (1 gallon tank, .75 cfm). Since the mityvac uses 4.5cfm at 90 psi my compressor couldn't keep up, and the pressure rapidly dropped to 50 psi. Even at this pressure brake fluid was flowing. I paused to close the wheel bleeder valve and the Mityvac air valve to let the compressor catch up, then bled again. It was not ideal, but a small compressor can be used. I liked being able to suck old fluid and debris from the master cylinder and refilling with clean fluid before bleeding the brakes. The attachment to automatically keep the master cylinder full worked for me because I had clearance above the reservoir. Because brake fluid absorbs moisture, car makers recommend flushing brake and clutch lines every 3 years. This tool makes it easy.

This is a great professional-grade product. It is built with heavy duty components and comes with everything you need to use it, including good directions and some extra parts and things I'll likely never use. It makes bleeding brakes and clutches by yourself an easy job. As some have said, though, it requires a pretty robust compressor. I have an old 30-gallon compressor that recovers pretty slowly, and this gave it a good workout. I had to stop a couple of times to let the pressure recharge. It seems to work best with pressure above 80 lbs. This is obviously designed for use in a shop with a big, commercial compressor. Made in Taiwan.

Makes brake flushes so much easier and convenient. Quality is definitely worth the price. Nice airflow/speed. Fits well for subaru applications. No leaks or issues since purchase. Could have versatile usages if you need to suck out reservoirs like coolant, power steering etc. when tightening the lid make sure to lightly tighten it, it will seal but if you over tighten that vacuum pressure will make it a pain to remove lol.

This is a great tool, especially if you are working by yourself as I usually am. I have used this on five or six brake jobs so far ranging from a '67 Firebird to a 3/4 Ton pickup and it has worked well in each instance. It has saved a lot of hassle and mess as everything goes into the reservoir. I especially like that the vacuum arrangement can be used for flushing (sucking) new fluid through the whole system very easily. The only issue I had was a torn bleeder screw adapter caused by a bleeder screw with a sharp burr on it. The kit does come with a spare and I ordered a couple of more from Amazon as backups for only a few dollars.

Just flushed the brakes on 3 vehicles by myself. Took the time of a single flushing, and I didn't have to ask the wife my neighbor or the kids for help pressing, holding, releasing the brake for 30 minutes. Really nice product. Learning curve is about 10 mins, then all gas. The ease of use will encourage me to flush break fluid a bit more often. And get around to those full vintage brake systems that i've ignored for too long. Real thick, solid plastic seems well made should last a VERY long time for my handful of uses per year....but worth it.

Quality product for sure. For me, it was overkill. One thing… the hose to caliper connectors are a bit weak and fall off easy.

9 years later and this bleeder is still going strong. Although the suction hose has hardened and lost all flexibility: so I'm now looking for a new hose. Used this for years when I was a auto technician I've now switched careers but still use it from time to time. Would buy again!

This product is well worth its value. As someone learning to do DIY mechanic stuff, I found this incredibly easy to use and made my first brake job extremely easy and simple. If you're doing this alone and you have an air compressor, I highly recommend this tool. It's so easy to use and can be applied to multiple other fluid jobs. Most importantly, it feels like a quality tool and is simple enough in design that I have no doubts it'll last me for years to come.

It works good.

Works great to bleed air from the brake system. No need to have a second person stomping on the brake pedal to bleed air anymore. It also works great to flush the brake fluid out of a vehicle as per recommended maintenance. Well built tool. You do need a high volume air compressor for this to work best.

This is a replacement unit for an identical unit that finally wore out at our repair shop. Good product, good value and shipping was fast.
