How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

5.0 out of 5 starsWorks Great!
Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2022
At first I ordered and received the Motive Bleeder and it would suck absolutely no brake fluid into the line and the pressure it maintained without fluid remained high, so it wasn't leaking anywhere. Well after struggling through 1 car with it I returned it to Amazon and then ordered this ARES 18036-3-Liter Manual Brake Fluid Pressure Bleeder and WOW what a difference. This thing worked exactly as it should right out of the box! Yes I would recommend and order it again!

3.0 out of 5 starsBeware – Proprietary Fitting!
Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2022
The 90 degree connection is a proprietary fitting and will not connect to standard air hose couplers. I tried automotive, industrial, etc. before coming back and carefully reading the description. The fitting only works with their own bleeder kit, "THIS ADAPTER CAP KIT IS EXCLUSIVELY COMPATIBLE WITH OUR ares 18036 BRAKE BLEEDER SET." Shame on me for not reading the fine print.

Obviously, this is a totally unnecessary design feature and only hurts the consumer. Shame on Ares for playing these games and trying to lock you into their ridiculous ecosystem. However, if you're in a pinch, any brake bleeder pressure bottle will work. Slide the rubber tubing over the fitting and use a compression clamp. It's not as pretty but no leaks, it works just fine.

The cylinder adapter does appear that it would fit a wide range of vehicles and it is well made. So far, it has worked on a 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee 6.0, 2014 Subaru Forester, and 2012 Mini Cooper S. However, I will certainly think twice before I ever buy anything made by Ares again.

Size: 1L Fluid ReservoirVerified Purchase
I returned this for I wanted a check valve inside the bottle to prevent fluid from being sucked back up but the design is good and the bottle is heavy duty. For a person who has help bleeding brakes this is a good idea but for one person bleeding brakes you need that check valve and this did not have it. So I returned it but if they add the check valve in the future I will buy this one for my usage.

Size: Brake Pressure Bleeder Set (Euro) & 1L ReservoiVerified Purchase
Thing this is perfect. I had a different brand before, and this one builds pressure much quicker. The small details like the gauge and even the shape of the handle make this pressure bleeder one of my favorite new purchases. I also purchased the 9 piece cap adapters, they are extremely well made! I own many ARES tools and I have yet to be let down.

With a big o-ring that seals in the neck of the reservoir and then a clam shell type of locking mech to hold it place they turned out to be a good buy!

3.0 out of 5 stars Leaks when pressurized
Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2021
Verified Purchase
First, the product is made well. It feels very solid and the coupling mated perfect with the other product to pressurize the system. The unfortunate part is that I was working on a 93 Ford F-150 where the reservoir is not a screw down but a screw around with the three large tabs made to lock the lid. In my scenario, I was unable to get the universal adapter clamped down tight enough to avoid leaks when I pressurized the system. I never had it higher than five psi and fluid was going everywhere. I ended up bleeding the brakes the old school way with someone else in the truck pumping/holding the pedal.

Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2022
Size: Brake Pressure Bleeder Set (Euro) & 1L ReservoiVerified Purchase
Purchased this larger pressure bleeder cause the smaller one was not available. It came with a broken handle. Emailed the company and informed them that the handle was broken, the broken part was not in the box so it was boxed and shipped broken..The company shipped a brand new one to replace the broken one. It comes with 1 adapter. It has quick connect couplings which makes it nice. Used it for the first time a week after purchasing it, all is good. The supplied adapter fit the girlfriend's Challenger. Worked so good in fact that I dropped $225 on the adapter kit for it. 2 months later I need it again. Here is where it gets interesting, the brake bleeder coupler did not fit the fitting on the adapter. The coupler was larger than the fitting. Emailed the company to find out there are Famly A and Family B models of which only one works with the adapter kit I purchased. Customer service was prompt with responses to clarify the issue and help me solve the issue. This tool company's customer service is 200%
