Q: What’s the problem with trapped air anyway?

A: Trapped air destroys brake response because air is compressible and results in delayed brake response.

Q: Which tool should I buy?

A: View the which tool to buy page to find your perfect fit.

Q: Will it work on my vehicle?

A: The tools are not vehicle specific and will work on almost any hydraulic brake or clutch system, even motorcycles, bicycles, RV’s, and ATV’s

Q: Which bleeding method is the best?

A: Reverse bleeding is the most efficient, but often a combination of bleeding techniques gets the best results.

Q: Why does it work so well with ABS?

A: Reverse bleeding uses fluid paths in which ABS valving offers little to no resistance. ABS manipulates braking pressure and then allows fluid to easily return to the master cylinder.
