Dealing with a non-responsive brake pedal isn’t as difficult as most people imagine it to be. In fact, it’s one of those problems that’s simple enough for you to solve by yourself in the comfort of your garage, provided you have a good idea about what the problem is likely to be. In most cases, it’s just an air bubble that’s gotten trapped within the brake system, and to sort it out, you’re going to need a brake bleeder. The HFS R vacuum brake bleeder is one such bleeder, and if you’re looking for something that’s reliable, affordable and easy to use, then it could very well be the best brake bleeder kit for you.

Why We Like It – HFS (R 2 in 1 Brake Bleeder & Vacuum Pump Test Tuner Tool Kit

Hardware Factory Store is not a very well known brand when it comes to pressure kits, but the 2 in 1 brake bleeder and vacuum puller makes their HFS pressure kit a very worthwhile consideration.

Pros
  • Includes a carry case
  • Metal construction
  • Universal adapters
Cons
  • Uses only DOT certified brake fluid

Performance

This HFS brake bleeder vacuum pump is a very effective tool to have in your garage since it works to replace your car’s brake fluid in two different ways. It can either push old brake fluid out of your car’s master cylinder as it fills it with fluid from it’s fluid reservoir, or simply push the old brake fluid out in a process that’s known as bleeding. Either way, once the old brake fluid is replaced, you’ll then be able to drive your car without any air pockets in its brake system. The HFS vacuum pump test tuner tool kit also allows you to do a lot more things than you’d be able to with the Motive Products European Bleeder Pressure kit, so you stand to gain a lot more value when you purchase the latter.

Design

Not many bleeder kits can boast of a metal construction. The HFS brake bleeder vacuum kit however can, and it consists of a little pressure gauge that shows just how much pressure is being used, and it comes as a kit that includes two 2 ft tubes, vacuum & brake bleeder adapters and a brake fluid reservoir. The vacuum pump test tuner tool kit weighs a collective 2.4 pounds (which is lighter than the Capri Tools Vacuum Brake Bleeder), and also includes a carry case that makes it a lot easier to store everything in one place.

Value

With a pressure range of 0-30 Inches Hg, the HFS brake bleeder vacuum pump test kit is more than worth having around. It’s meant to work on all car models, so there’s no need to be picky like you would be with the Motive Products Pressure Clutch Bleeder kit. The kit allows for one-man operation, so you won’t need to have someone else step on the brake pedal as you open the brake valve.

HFS (R 2 in 1 Brake Bleeder & Vacuum Pump Test Tuner Tool Kit Wrap Up

The one thing you’ll have to appreciate about this HFS vacuum pump test tuner tool kit is that it looks a lot better than most of the other choices in the market. It’s metal construction also guarantees that it’ll last a lot longer, and with an affordable price tag, you won’t be digging too deep into your pocket to get it.
