Product Information
Full details
The AB Tools Easy Bleed Brake & Clutch Bleeder is a professional tool for commercial or occasional use, designed to facilitate quick and efficient brake bleeding by leveraging your air compressor. Its primary benefit is enabling one-person operation to draw fluid, remove air bubbles, and perform complete brake system flushes or refills on most vehicles. A potential consideration is the need for a standard workshop air supply (90-120 psi) to operate effectively.

FAQs
Can this tool be used on clutch systems as well?
Yes, the product description explicitly states it is a 'Brake & Clutch Bleeder', meaning it is suitable for both systems.
What is the maximum air pressure recommended for this tool?
The tool is designed to work with standard workshop air supply between 90 to 120 PSI (6-12 bar).
How do I ensure I select the correct master cylinder adapter?
Measure the diameter of your master cylinder opening. The kit includes four adapters covering a range of sizes from 21mm to 41mm. Select the adapter that provides the tightest, most secure fit.
Does this tool come with its own air compressor?
No, this tool requires connection to your existing workshop air compressor. It does not include a compressor.
What is the capacity of the fluid collection container?
The collection container has a capacity of 0.75 liters.
How much vacuum does the tool generate?
The tool generates approximately 60% vacuum when operated with the correct air pressure.
Can I use this tool to bleed brakes on motorcycles?
While designed for most vehicles, its effectiveness on motorcycle brake systems depends on the master cylinder size and accessibility. You would need to confirm if one of the included adapters fits your motorcycle's master cylinder.
Troubleshooting
No vacuum is being generated.
Ensure the air compressor is turned on and providing adequate pressure (90-120 PSI). Check the air inlet connection for leaks and verify the bleed nipple is open.
Fluid is leaking around the master cylinder adapter.
Confirm you are using the correct size adapter for the master cylinder. Ensure the adapter is seated firmly and create a tight seal. Try a different adapter if the fit seems poor.
Air bubbles are still present in the brake line.
Ensure the bleed nipple is fully open and the vacuum is consistently applied. Check all connections for air leaks. The vehicle might have a complex ABS system requiring specific bleeding procedures or longer vacuum application.
The collection container fills up quickly.
Be prepared to empty the 0.75L container during extensive flushes. If performing a full system replacement, have a larger secondary container ready to connect to the primary one or empty it as needed.
