perfect for the job.

Don't buy this , just buy a pipe , and do it manually. This one doesn't work. Waste of money

We have a small fleet of cars here, and all of them get regular brake fluid flushes. For some I have a power bleeder, but some others demand an old-fashioned pedal bleed. It's those that make this simple tool a big help. Pedal bleeding typically involves a person pushing on the pedal, with another opening and closing a brake bleeder valve at each wheel in concert with the press and release of the brake pedal. Get things out of sync, and you risk drawing air into the calipers. Air compresses when brake fluid doesn't so it's essential that we keep air out.This handy fitting has a check valve inside, a simple soft spring with a steel ball bearing that blocks flow back towards the caliper. With a little pressure from the system, the spring allows the ball to lift off a seat and flow commences. In practice, that allows one person to just open the bleeder valve at the caliper, make sure there's plenty of fluid in the reservoir up front, and do some pedal pumping to purge old fluid and draw new fluid into the pipes hose and calipers. It's fast and easy, with no worries about coordinating the second-person pedal movements with manually opening and closing the bleeder valve.The package comes with a couple sections of clear vinyl hose, and some small spring clamps to hold the hoses to the nipples on the tool. The hoses are plenty long enough for bleeding bike brakes, but I found it a little better to use some longer hoses I already had in my box for the car calipers. I needed a little more length to reach a catch bottle on the floor without spilling.One feature I appreciate is the ability to unscrew one end of the tool to clean it before storage. Once it was clean and dry, it was reassembled and it got a spritz of WD-40 to prevent corrosion while it waits a year for another round of fluid changes. All the pieces fit in the small zip-lock style storage bag they arrived in, including the hoses and clamps.For those intending to use this on bicycle brakes, the low-pressure spring and ability to use smaller-diameter hose from the caliper will prove a blessing. The clear hose makes it easy to watch for clean fluid, and also to look for any entrained air bubbles that might be causing soft brakes.For me, the tool is an instant hit, saving mrs dr bob the time and effort needed to push on the pedal. It's earned a permanent home in the tool collection for how easy and fast it makes a sometimes tedious but essential maintenance task.

Everything worked just as needed to bleed the brakes. For $10 I would expect a little better quality, parts seem very cheap. Needless to say it helped me turn my brake job into a one man show which was super helpful.
