The Critic

Final update:
It did not work out and was returned.
Maybe I received a defective Honda adapter, but the o-rings were oversized. This prevented the Honda adapter from being used. The Toyota adapter fit well though. Unfortunately I need a working Honda adapter so I had to return the entire kit. This kit also uses proprietary fittings that prevented me from using my existing CCT/Power Probe adapters.
Also, this bleeder needs to “bled” each time you refill with fresh fluid. This is a normal characteristic of diaphragm brake bleeders, but for a small capacity unit, this became a bigger pain than expected. You need to “waste” approximately 6-8oz of fluid before you get a clear stream, which is a lot of waste…when this unit’s capacity was clearly designed for single vehicle services.
The “waste” fluid becomes extremely aerated and should be discarded.
