How To Use The Snap-on Cooling System Refiller - Quick DEMO - Розваги
FYI to folks out there. There’s a chance that the vehicle holds vacuum, but still has a leak. The vacuum could be temporarily pulling bad seals and gaskets (heater core fittings for example) where they SHOULD BE but when released there is a leak there. It’s important to still Pressure Test (with positive pressure.)
Often when people say what you said, they end with, "Ask me how I know?"
Im new to this and want to improve my skill in this field of doing coolant pressure test and coolant exchanges. What are key components that someone like me would do to prevent or have a better experience on this skill.
Always impressed by the quality of Snap-on. Makes this such an easy job!
Cool demo. No idea why youd throw DeX cool into a Chrysler but you do you man
Thanks for the Video Joel. I just use this tool on my 2013 Ford F-350. And it worked great.
I’ve been using one of these for years. Wouldn’t want to go without it!
Hi, I have a air issue (ford) in my cooling sistem the heat goes up and down i don't be able to take all air out of the system and the
Can this item be a solution for my problem ?
Ive had one for a year and never used it. Glad i saw this video thanks.
really great video thanks my friend keep up the great work. I really appreciate your time showing us this. I am old school and know I know what it will take to fill my new pickup. I change the coolant around every two years and just had the dealership do it. I believe I will keep my money in my pocket and do it myself next time.
That's bad ass👍, on my list of things to get. Thanks for the demo.
I gotta get one of these. I did a Saturn yesterday that had me chasing air forever.
Thanks for the demo.
Great demo we use it all the time on the Nissan D23 as it’s the only way to bleed them and it’s part of the Nissan Service instructions 👍
Thanks for showing Snap-On Tool in action. It's looks easy to used.
+LsR209 Master Warranty Technician super easy!
@@TheSnapOnToolReview will a small 100lbs psi 1/3 hp tank be enough for this or will I need a larger compressor?
Thanks Joel! Going to pick one up, It's a pain filling my '01 Dodge Cummins after a flush!
Very cool. I have always used the lisle kit
Thanks, it's good to see it in action.
thats awesome. Thanks for posting and showing the new tool!
+Matt Brennan no problem dude!
Looks like if you know the how much coolant it takes from the get go you can have a container filled and not have to stop making it even faster. I haven't used one and I'm also out of room in my box for one. Looks like you can check for leaks by seeing it can hold vacuum as well. Great tool nice and quick review Joel something to keep in mind for myself.
Great video of a quality tool in active duty.
Short and sweet video!
that's a nice tool I bought a coolant tool from amazon. it works I have no complaints but wish I could have that one.
Great video, thanks for the info.
Yeah and I am going to get it to. Thanks for the video on it.
Thanks for the great vids.
What a friggin time saver ! Thanks for the tutorial Joel.
+Wally G. No problem bro! It sure is.
Can I use this just to bleed out air in the system without flashing or draining the coolant?
@@dacal9084 yes. . Old comment. You probably know that by now. Lol
Excellent video Joel most anticipated!!!
+Darwin W thanks bro!
Cool video Joel that tool makes it so easy to do the work 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼✌️
awesome my brother got to get one for sure Thanks..
Thanks, I though about get one a few times, but now I'm deff getting one
+Johantico awesome. Time saver for sure.
Freaking sweet.!!! I really need one.
Very nice, the newer civics have this type of cooling system, I have yet to do a service on one yet, so I will need to pick up one of these
Thanks chief
saw this in your other vid, lovely looking bit of kit looks like it works great aswell. GP
I've had so much hassle with modern water systems I hope this will help
appreciate the video!
Thanks just got one and was doing it at 15 psi lol. now i know why it was slow filling
Good video
My matco does the job pretty good too.
Dam dude. I must be old school because in the 35 years I’ve been turning wrenches, I have never used one of these and I have never had any air in the coolant system after a refill. Then again, I know what I’m doing. Looks easy enough. This would definitely save me a shitload of time during a refill.
We’ve noticed A lot of new cooling systems no longer have a radiator cap. And no longer have bleeder valves either. They just have a pressure cap at the reservoir but the reservoir is situated Lower than the top of the radiator and sometimes other components. Getting air out of these can be tough.
Nice metallica tattoo
My dad has one it’s bad ass. He still can’t stop making a huge anti-freeze mess every time he works on a truck 😂
Hey Joel, long time viewer, like your videos man, wish my Snap- On guy was as consistent and reliable as yours haha, regardless love your channel, keep rocking dude, Cheers from Ontario
+Daniel Whitehead thanks bro! Every Wednesday! He's a good dude.
@@TheSnapOnToolReviewHI Which model is which one is best or the RADKITULTRA
Gotta get one for all these Chrysler product it seems
That is fucking awesome. Wish I had one when i worked at a radiator shop.
Joel, working on International trucks they have a quick connect at bottom of rad and a special cart that has drain/fill capabilities all from bottom of rad. I use the one with rubber adapter from top strictly to pull vacuum.
That’s really cool!
Big boy asserting his dominance at 2:42
Do I still need to do a traditional bleed after this to eliminate air in hose between fill and expansion tank when first fill the coolant?
happy birthday enjoy your day my friend
+Scott Pearson thanks brother!!
Cool man
By any chance you have a video where we see you do the extra steps on filling the bottle after it goes empty. I’ve never seen this and would like to get more details so I know how to use it when I do get one.
Can you do a pressure test with this as well? Like as if the system is already drained and instead of filling with coolant you fill with air to see if it will hold pressure??
I understand a lot of people think snap on is a rip off but for what your paying its worth it and makes jobs easier
it's not, my snap on coolant refill kit lasted 2 years. I do collision work so I'm not really constantly refilling coolant systems. snap is junk just like all the others.
Thank you for the video
Can I get part number of adapters for hyundai cars???
When you open the tap to let coolant in you're meant to only get it to the point where coolant just starts to enter, then open up the vacuum side again as you sucked in all the air that was in the tube..
Then open her right back up again
Yah your right!
That makes no difference at all 25in of merc. is not absolute anyway and there is nothing wrong with what he did other than maybe using dex-cool in what appears to be a chrysler.
Yep, it says so in the instruction manual.
Ill try this today, i put a new radiator in a v70 volvo
You may want to draw up the coolant filling the suction tube by briefly opening the suction valve. Then close the valve before finishing the vacuum. The system should maintain the same pressure for a couple minutes after you close the air valve...if not fix the leak! You are also putting more air into the system when you switch jugs. Use a larger jug or close the suction valve and refill the jug before it runs low.
Spot on about drawing up the coolant all the way up the fill hose to the valve before finishing the vacuum. However, if you are careful you can switch jugs without getting any air into the fill hose. Just got to make sure you do the switch when the coolant gets low in the jug and BEFORE you run out!
Have you tried the Redline Smart fit adapters with this Unit?
so if I have a little bit of coolant left, when I vacuum the system, does any left over coolant come out as well and it just goes to waste?
Any review on a coolant system flushing tool from Snap-On?
I might just have to go get one for the Honda Ridgeline don't tell the wife
well i need one i will get one
What psi should be used for air compressor?
It’s a great tool. Bought one even though I’m not a professional mechanic. $150 plus a free Snap On Carhardt type winter jacket with purchase. No brainer
I do love my snap-on jacket that I got for free with a pry bar set and I also got the giant pry bar for free with that as well. I think they do that jacket deal every year around Christmas, and I think the jacket is a different color each year. I have the gray one with black writing on the back I think. however I would never spend $150 on a Snapon coolant Purge and refill kit when you can get one off Amazon that works just as good for twenty or thirty bucks, people need to learn to shop around before they throw their snap on truck mad money because it's usually a good bet that you can get a tool that's just like whatever you're trying to get from snap-on elsewhere for half as much and the quality could be just as good if not better
does the shop air compressor has to be on or off or doesn't matter?
Is this the same wat to do this for 2013 range rover sport
Aye bro just wondering why you prefer this version with the caps insted if the universal? I'm going to buy one with my student disscount but still not sure which to go with. If you also have a part number for the cap kit you use that be great, thanks for reading bro (:
you may have just convinced me
+mike sauve good stuff. It's an amazing tool.
Any difference between the svtsrad272 and the svtsrad262? They look identical...
good video man thanks
so that mean if you use that tool you dnt have to bleed the system ?
Did you use this to suck out coolant and what type of air compressor did you use to suck out coolant?
What happens when there is air in the system ? What kind of symptoms would there ? If your doing a actual coolant flush with a flush machine you wouldn't have air problems would you?
How much is the snapon one, my matco was $210 and I like it but it has only a rubber qorck style plug, I'm not the greatest fan of it, thinking about picking up the snapon, and using the matco fo home at my shop.
Use one on our bmw m3 drift car still could not get the air lock out, had to jack front of car and fill from the top rad hose :-(
What vacuum pump you used for ?
so before use we first drain the radiator?
This shits awesome
Was this real time or was it sped up? I’ve used the cornwell refill tool but it always takes at least 10 minutes
I’m new to the industry and starting a job next Tuesday. I wanna ask you, what size or coupler and plug do you use? Probably a dumb question, but I really can’t get which one would be better for me. I own basic Snap-On air tools, just need to know which coupler and plug would be better for then
Hooky crap that is awesome I think that would work on the new big tractors with def on them because they are a bitch to refill takes forever because the coolant goes everywhere in the tractor to cool and heat def stuff I'm going to have to get one of those for sure thanks so much for that demo video 👍🏻🔥💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿🔥🔥🔥
I wonder if this would work on heavy duty trucks
Definitely getting one. So if you have the snapon system pressure tester that you also purchased in your last video, will those adapters fit the system refiller?
+Ian P yes. They make it that way so it's interchangeable.
i bought one and can not find adaptors. do you have a part number? Thanks in advance
Joel, can you use this tool to drain the coolant as well, with pulling a vacuum on the cooling system?
So when you are pulling a vacuum on the system what happens if there is some coolant left in the system. Does it suck it out through that bleedoff line or does it stay in place?
+Garmans12valve it stays in the system. It only removes the air that is present.
@@TheSnapOnToolReview yeah but what if you don't drain the system first can't you just hook up this tool and suck all the coolant out, well most of it anyway
Is the force of 25 inches equal to 16lbs?
Hey There
How much the cooling system from Snap-on cost?$
Would this system would work on any type of vehicles I have 2-Toyota Prius- Matrix 1-Ford Fusion & 1-Dodge P.T Cruise. I'm calling from Houston TX ok
Oh keep up the good work on your video
Hey Joe, I have a question. Do you have to put more shop air if the vacuum gets to low. I'm going to do my 13' Ford Super Duty, and it's a lot bigger then the car you was working on. Just looking for some information. Thanks
You need to have at least 90 psi, I'd recommend 5 cfm.
Where’s this kit made?
That’s pretty neat. I know nothing about this stuff but how does this save time over just putting in a couple bottles of coolant with a funnel? Is it about air in the system? Like I said I have no clue what I’m talking about, just curious.
Modern vehicle cooling systems are much more difficult to purge of air. Most manufacturers are now specifying filling under vacuum. If you are not doing it this way on vehicles that call for it, you are not doing it correctly.
Bro,,, I have been going insane for 5 months.. with a 6.1 HEMI that no matter what continues to overheat.. Every single component in the Cooling system has been replaced... at least twice.. WTF do shops not know to do this from the get go... Curious. I have full Fresh coolant in the motor now.. How did you fully drain it?? with the Petcock on the Lower rad hose?? Im thinking this will solve my problem.
Can this unit do a pressure test on the system as well?
+Christopher Enger in a round about way yes. You’re applying a vacuum, so if it’s holds a vacuum if should be able to hold pressure. 👍🏼
How much should I charge when using this tool shop hours wise?
Same one matco and mac sells bought mine from snap on lasted 14 mos. junk
Joel, have you used this on Honda’s? Do you need an adapter for them? I feel the universal version of this tool SVTRAD272U might be better no need to buy expensive adapters.
Yes you do need an adapter for a honda. Also It's not, the universal one uses a rubber cone that expands slightly when you twist a knob. This cone barely fits in the fill hole on Hondas so you end up holding it on there to keep the pressure and doing everything else one handed.
I have a question, did you use 100% coolant or was it 50/50 with distilled water? Thank you in advance. I am a student and love to learn. Loved the vid by the way.
You use 50/50 coolant with this, or whatever is appropriate for where you live.
can you detail what should be done prior to plug in the tool? Car hot or cold? What about the thermostat? I suppose it has to be opened? How to prepare the car for this?
I ensure the heater valves are open, engine cold, no need to remove thermostat. You need to drain as much coolant out of your cooling system as possible before evacuating it.
can this tool be used to drain a system of coolant? i do a lot of motor swaps and im tired of cleaning antifreeze after each one.
Not recommended, very inefficient and slow if you try that. You really need to drain out as much coolant as possible for this to work the way it should.
The Snap-On Tool Review Do you think a small 100lb 1/3 hp compressor would do this or would I need a larger tank?
You need a compressor that can produce at least 90psi. I would recommend at least 4 - 5 cfm in my experience.
I have a question about this tool does it vacuum the whole system as in all the way in to the heater core,water pump and the whole block? Cause i feel like it doesnt? Never used the tool but really want to buy one to save time! And why did you stopped at 25?
Yes it does
is this just a quick fill system or does eliminate the air bleeding process as well????
If you do it right, it purges the cooling system of air and refills it at the same time.
Can you use it to drain the system, I hate jacking the car up just to drain coolant.
Not recommended as it is extremely slow and inefficient.
So if I install a new radiator could I use this tool to fill the entire system?
Yes
you don't need to have the rig running and the heat on to open up the heater core to make sure there isn't air in there?
Open the heater valves and drain the system of as much coolant as possible. Vehicle should not be running while evacuating and filling.
