Genesis Universal 1 Person Brake Bleeder Bottle with a Stainless Steel Cable Mount and 12 Inch Fluid Tube

This is obviously being kludged together in someone’s garage out of a LDPE laboratory squeeze bottle, some silicone tubing, a plastic tubing fitting and a bit of cabling. The sticker is probably the most expensive thing about it. That said, I doubt you can put one together yourself for the same price and it works well and has held up to two years of use. Definitely recommend the version with the cable loop to hang it.

I've bled the brakes on many vehicles -- for others and for my own. I've got to say, this bleeder bottle works great for someone who dreads asking others for help. I can just hook this up to the bleeder valve, loosen the valve, and hop in the vehicle to pump and bleed the brakes -- all by myself! Securing the bottle with the cable was easy, and I don't feel that the cable will break. I couldn't ask for a better tool to effortlessly make my life so much easier. In addition, the price was quite reasonable. Simple tool, simple price, and lots of smiles. Hell, I bought more as Christmas gifts to some of my other backyard mechanic friends. They're going to love it :] I strongly believe in buying the right tools for the job, and this is definitely one of them.

Best feature is the size of the bottle. Every other kit of this style I looked at had a capacity of 2-3 oz, useless. The only downside to this kit is the tubing could be longer, 18-24 inches. This would allow for better placement of the bottle while bleeding. The tube works but makes it a little awkward to place bottle in a convenient location. Otherwise, this kit is very good.

Works great

This item is one of those rare gadgets that fits a need so perfectly and at an affordable price that just make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Lot's of things make this guy great: - the magnet is strong enough to hold even when the bottle is full...and there's always metal around to stick it to. - the tubing is actually of pretty good quality...not the hard plastic junk, but soft, supple and rubbery. - the best thing, by far, to me(and maybe i just never knew these existed...but it wasn't mentioned in the description) is the "relief" opening/nipple on the cap. Great concept that 1) allows air to escape during bleeding operation so pressure doesn't build up, 2) gives you a place to store the end of the tube when not in use(see item picture) so it doesn't make a mess on the shelf, 3) by crimping the inflow tube and inverting the bottle, it allows you to gracefully squirt out the old fluid back into your now-empty brake fluid container for easy and no-mess disposal, and 4) also makes siphoning fluid from the master cylinder a breeze, because you can squeeze the bottle, place your finger on the relief nipple, place the end of the tube in the cylinder into the fluid to be siphoned, and then release the pressure on the bottle...creating a very effective suction that deposits the fluid directly into the bottle. Genius! I'll probably find 5 other uses for this thing as I go. Wish I had bought one of these years ago!

Unfortunately, they shipped me the wrong product. I ordered the version with the magnet for convenient attachment on any vehicle regardless of height from the ground. They shipped me the one with the thin cable hanger. I was not looking for more delay, so I went ahead and used it and for this vehicle (and that I had added hose), the bottle was able to sit on the ground. The actual bottle quality is great. It's a really thick plastic typical of bottles used in a chemistry lab. The cap has the two hose attachment points which are also good quality. The hose though was probably the weak point if there was one. It's a really soft rubber and probably sized a little too large and too soft, and a "little" is all it takes to make or break an air-tight seal. When placed over the brake line bleeder screw, it wasn't really what I would consider snug. It held, but it didn't instill a lot of confidence, so I replaced it. I had some new 3/16" and combined it with what came with the bottle. The hose included slipped over the hose attachment better because the hose was soft and the attachment is kind of large. My 3/16" hose fit the bleeder screw better. I was able to insert the 3/16" into the factory hose for an air-tight seal. The reason I wanted it air-tight is because I was using this in a 1-person brake bleed. The softer less-tight hose may work for someone who's just opening/closing the bleeder for a second while someone else works the pedal.

Outstanding! It actually works you can bleed your brakes yourself and is sold at a fair price

I bought the hanging cable version of this and it works very well. I was able to bleed my brakes easily by myself with no issues. The tubing is soft and flexible and easily fits over the brake bleeder screw creating a perfect seal. The bottle is big enough to hold the old fluid and can easily be emptied when full. I am very happy with the quality of this product and recommend it as an alternative to other more expensive products.
