Very useful - For brake bleeding as well as Hydraulic clutch bleeding

This worked for bleeding my brakes, but it lacks some features that it should have. I needed to bleed my brakes, and didn't have time to find someone to help me. It has a perfectly sized chain, so it can be hung from the lug nut studs and it won’t touch the ground. It will hold 1 liter of fluid, which is more than enough to perform a full brake fluid flush. The fitting for the brake bleeder valve has a super snug fit and definitely won’t fall off on its own. This bottle did the job but there are some concerns I have. I would have liked to see it have a small vent hole in the cap, to allow for the air to be displaced inside the bottle as it is filled with brake fluid. You may want to poke a very small hole in the top to help vent the air as it fills up. It also should have a tube inside that extends all the way to the bottom of the bottle. This is important so that you don’t end up sucking air into the brake system. For the money it will work, but it isn’t perfect.

I have rigged up so many different bleeder bottle arrangements over the years trying to find a good solution and none of them work as well as this simple little setup. Comes in super handy if you need to change fluid regularly after track days. This with a pressure bleeder on the other side is the way to go for simple fluid changes. Plenty of length on the tube and the connector works great.

Chain is a good length for hanging so you don't have to worry about spills. Tubing only goes to lid of bottle and no back flow valve. So you cannot fill bottle partway with brake fluid and put tubing in it to keep from back flow.It took one person to pump break while the other pinched the tubing upon break release.

I use this to manually bleed my brakes after replacing my front calipers. I used to use a smaller container and would find myself having to empty that constantly. This container is perfect with enough volume to allow me to fully flush the system without stopping after each caliper. The hose is super long, and the chain attaches easily to my struts whereas my previous setup used a magnet that barely held. I have a couple different types of bleeder screws on my calipers and this hose fit perfectly on both the standard and the super small bleeders. I would highly recommend this setup for any sort of brake service or repairs that will require bleeding.

Positives: The bottle is sturdy. The chain gives versatility where to place / hang the bottle. TBD if the plate to which the chain is attached not being captive is good or bad when emptying the bottle.Negatives:The biggest negative is that the preferred design for brake bleed bottles, including make your own, is to have continuity of the hose from attachment to the bleeder screw to the bottom of the collection of the collection bottle -- to avoid leak back of air. You start by adding some brake fluid to the bottom of the bottle. You carefully then bleed the brake (including by yourself), which pushes fluid into the tube to meet what is already in the bottle. At that point, it would be very difficult for free air to get back into the tube based on the cohesion of the fluid. This bottle's openly drops fluid into the air at the top of the bottle. This also speaks to having the collection hose relatively short. You either leave the bottle cap a little loose or drill a small hole at the top of the bottle to allow air out as more fluid fills the bottle. Alternatively, if you keep the bottle air tight, you could squeeze (used) brake fluid into the hose before connecting it to the next wheel's bleeder screw. Vacuum will keep the fluid in the line and you can then loosen the cap. This product does none of that. It is either for gravity flow or what is pushed through the tube to drop into the bottle.The rubber washer in the bottle cap is not captive and fell out and rolled away when I unscrewed the cap.The hose is supposedly quality latex, although mine was torn where it attaches to the bottle which is a lax assembly and Quality Control problem. Glad I caught that before fluid was flowing. see pictureThe black rubber "adapter" that attaches to the bleeder screw is pretty stiff, which may keep it retained a range of bleeder screw tips. The 90 degree bend in this fitting may restrict the bleeder screw rotation versus letting a straight on hose connection absorb the rotation. The motorcycle wheel photo in the product listing says "Integrated design of air release hose." I have no idea what that means in terms of air release. This adapter is simple two way pass-through; there is no one way valve. You do not want to allow air to flow into the caliper when bleeding and this adapter does nothing about that other than to make a tight sealNoting the chain which is intended to allow the bottle to hang, the 24 inch hose seems long including introducing the possibility for air into the hose and into the caliper. One reviewer advised to loop the hose above the bleeder and to keep brake fluid in as much of the hose as possible including up against the adapter / bleeder screw. TBD if that is possible, particularly when starting each wheel with an empty hose.1 liter is large to bleed a brake line unless you are doing a large truck. Yes, you could use a new liter / quart of fluid to flush a significant amount of new fluid through the system as well as purge the intended old fluid and use the bottle to collect all four wheels. For that ounce and ml marks on bottle would justify the size. But you could use a smaller bottle and empty after each wheel.Remember to always start bleeding at the farthest wheel from the master cylinder and bleed that one until you can tell it is passing new fluid. That way, as you bleed the next closest, and so forth any fluid being comingled should be fresh fluid. And never let the reservoir run dry

If you're doing brake jobs at home, this brake bleeder bottle is a step up from the classic peanut butter jar and clear hose method. It’s easy to use, and the tube fits well on most bleeders. While it might not be the top-of-the-line tool for professional mechanics, it gets the job done for DIYers. It's a good choice if you want something simple and effective without breaking the bank.

I just got done using this to flush my brakes and I have to say, it makes a horrible mess if you use it the way it was designed. There is no way for the pressure buildup to release as you push brake fluid into the container. As soon as you take the tube off the bleeder it sprays any fluid in the hose absolutely everywhere.The only way to make this functional is to take the cap off, remove the tube from the cap, then stuff the tube into the open hole. It works great this way, but now you can’t use the chain to hold it up since the cap holds it on so you have to set the bottle on something since the hose isn’t very long (which is fine if the chain is usable). Then the bottle tips over easily and there’s no cap to stop it all from coming out.You might be able to drill a hole in the top, but since the cap doesn’t have any sort of tube hanging down you’ll risk having brake fluid run out of the hole.I gave this two stars because honestly the materials are great. This would be 5 stars if they thought about the design a little more.Spend a little extra and get one with a vent on the top and save yourself the headache of cleaning up tons of brake fluid.
