I have never understood why none of the companies never add a bleed hose to the set up. We all know when we dont find a leak and the system has full pressure on it....we are going to make a mess taking it off. Would be great to have a bleed valve and a smaller hose that we could run over to a container on those with pressure tanks or to the coolant bottle on those that dont that we could relieve the pressure before trying to slowly remove the pressure tester and making that mess. Guess that makes too much sense for them to figure out. Great video man!
I have been using the adaptor kit for several years now and I love it. It does do nearly everything. There has been a couple cars I couldn't do but that is very rare. Works way better than any other kit I have seen. Also very space efficient and easy to find the adaptor you need.
Other reviewers say that the adapter sometimes if it isn't completely dry can violently pop out under pressure. OTC/Matco makes one that hooks in line and tests the cap at the same time.
@@MacAutoDiag that works too. If you want to pay 50$ for an adapter that gets thrown in to neverland in the back of your box to be used once a year that's your prerogative. I'm just trying to save you money. There a reason why tool companies don't include them anymore. There's too many different caps nowadays.
@@pissysoles6996 the one I bought included it and just about every kit I was looking at included it. With your thinking you're not saving anyone money. You're costing people money. That's why people hate the parts changer mechanic because he has no clue what he's doing and it costs you money that you didn't need to spend. Smh

That’s awesome! Thanks for the input!
Thanks for the input I'm thinking about buying this kit.

looks like harbour freight has the adapter set rebranded
Awesome review👍
Thanks Brian!
Does it work on expeditions and ford f150s?
Bought similar set and adapters from harbor freight.. did not fit hole in chrysler concorde
What keeps that adapter piece from spinning in the surge tank/radiator while you're trying to spin the top piece on?
No cap test?
Looks like all I needs the adapters not to pressure tester how do I get those? LOL
That is actually available, I added it to my Amazon tool store as well. Here is a direct link to the adapter set only amzn.to/2LmxEii
Anyone know what the o-rings are for? (Since they are only on 2 of the adapters)
$224 and doesn't test radiator caps...🤦
It test the hole system that’s wat I understood from the video an Summit has it for $155
Usually in the field a radiator cap test is to just replace the $10 cap..
@@pissysoles6996 I know you don't work in the field because most customers aren't going to waste $10-$30 "just to see". Test don't guess
