- I ordered this before Christmas and have already used it several times. If you're looking for a comprehensive kit that has all the adaptors, this is the one. I've bought a few things from 8MILELAKE before and have been happy with all of them. Most of these kits are all made in the same place anyway. It works excellent at both pressure testing and vacuum refilling. Perfect for vehicles that are difficult to get all the air out of the cooling system. A must have if you work on cooling systems.

Great demonstration video As always Bruce
thanks Antonio, always appreciated
Wow I have missed Couple dozen videos youtube stopped pushing me your videos reminded me when I saw your posts on instagram
YT has been screwing with the notifications I get too. Every day I remember a channel that I haven't seen in awhile because YT stopped sending me notifications and putting their videos in my feed.
I still watch most of your vids, I just don't comment very often because I'm usually watching on my phone and its a pain to type on. I gotta get a new phone.
That looks like a great kit. That should help you keep your cool. 😉
I see what you did there
Good day, thanks for the video Bruce - that’s a sophisticated kit - the pressure test apparatus works well - nightmare scenario if pressure drops and you find oil in the coolant lol - cheers
I've had two head gaskets go on me. One in my 1987 Plymouth Reliant K and the other was in my 1999 Pontiac Sunfire. Both were work cars that were used and abused but took it like a champ till the head gaskets went. I also once has the trans cooler that was built into the rad take a dump and mix antifreeze and trans fluid. I was actually able to change the rad and trans fluid and drove it for a few more years! Have a good one Ed
I got the JoyFans one, it comes with the 4 of the radiator silver caps, which fits Honda radiators. I added teflon tape to the threads of the connectors except the ones that were locktited
Yours is a little fancier than mine but they’re a godsend! I couldn’t live without mine, especially having to deal with the BMW cooling system 🫣😂😂😂
I have another one that doesn't have the bits I needed. It was cheaper to buy this kit than to be a bunch of adapters that I needed. The Jetta has weird plastic fittings and manifolds all over the place. That's why I bought it. I started to make a video of me diagnosing and fixing the cooling system but it got waaaaay more involved than I had patience to record lol. It all came down to a $15 plastic coolant manifold and two O-rings. I had to take apart half the engine to get to them and wanted to be sure there were no more leaks before I put it all back together. Other than a bunch of Porsches, I don't think I'll be buying anymore German cars. I do like Audi's though.
You're right though, they are a godsend. I've used it several times already
@@BruceLyeg same plastic on BMW’s. I do love them though 🥹😂
Thank You Bruce!
Hey Mike, thanks for stopping by
Nice kit , I think mine is 6 pcs :) I must say it's like opening up a box of chocolates when you test a system, always a surprise 😉
Hey Steve. I have a PA 6 piece kit. It works fine but didn't have the pieces needed for my VW or the wife's Honda. You're right though, it seems every car is different. I remember when pretty much all rad caps were the same
Great demo,... It reminds me, as I get older,... I leak a little more. This kit would be very useful... hehe...
That reminds me of one of my favorite lines from The Simpsons. Chief Quimby says “if I wanted smoke blown up my ass I’d be at home with a box of cigars and a short length of hose”
Cool
Thanks!
Awesome B🎸《☆》Pretty decent review Brother👍🏾I would probably highlight the Arrows on the latches with Neon paint😁DOUUUGH I did it again✌🤠🌴
Hey BDOG. That's probably a good idea (highlighting the arrows). I have some other tool kit in a blow molded case that I always open upside down. I plan on cleaning and organizing the garage this spring and will take your advice and mark the up on the ones that aren't clear.
Have a great day, night or whatever time of day it is!
I been looking at this kit but still looking at the astro pneumatic kit
What's the differences? I've liked everything of Astros I've ever bought. The 8MILELAKE specialty tools like this that I have don't get used very often so I can't really say how great they are in terms of long term quality. This set has been used lots and has been great though. I haven't found anything it won't fit.
Do you have any experience with the non dismantle fuel injector/system cleaning kits? Wondering if they're even worth it
@@BruceLyeg price and Astro Kit Had Metal Adapter they Also have Rare adapters that can be bought seperate for rare cars and system as well as adapter to pressure test transmissions and differentials and transfercases and even Engine Blocks
Thats a large kit i have a cheaper kit but i had to improvise to get it to fit my rogue. Thanks bruce bud
I've got a smaller kit too but none of the parts fit my Jetta or my wife's Honda, otherwise I probably wouldn't have bothered with this one. It's a nice kit though
Nice kit Bruce!! I have been looking lately & have a few saved in amazon. I like the look of this kit!! 👍🇨🇦 BTW bought 2 cans of BG 44 Platinum, a very potent injector cleaner. 11 oz's for $ 45.00 a can. 😳
I had been looking for awhile too and had a bunch on my list. I really like this one. I can't say how it will be long term but it seems pretty well made. I've never heard of BG44 Platinum till now. Just read a bit about it and people seem to really like it. Very expensive though! You figure it's worth it?
@@BruceLyeg I think so, I just about fell over when he gave me the price. But it is apparently 2nd to none. When I run it I'll let you know.
Thanks
This review was solid. Do you know anything about the Master Cool?
43306🤔
Thanks. I don't but Mastercool makes good stuff. I wouldn't hesitate to buy anything from them
I have a few 8 mile lake tools. I have the slide hammer kit. My only complaint was it was too big yo fit in my tool box. I think i psid 75 bucks ive had to use it 3 or 4 times but its worked great. Like you said using every day might want better but for a weekend warrior like me its perfect I'd buy more
Hey David. I have a bunch of things from them and like you have been satisfied. You need a bigger box! I'll sell you mine, I'm really tempted by the 72' Husky Pro box
@Bruce L. as sweet as thst sounds Bruce I'm not sure how I would get it here. And you know me and red boxes lol
That will be great for cars where the radiator filler is not the highest point. My wife's 93 Civic EX, my mom's 79 FIAT Spider 2000, and my future Shelby Cobra 427
I think the Shelby Cobra has been one of the few cars that I've consistently loved since I was a kid. I've been lucky enough to see a couple real ones in my life but heck, I'd settle for a Factory Five Kit. A guy that follows me on Instagram has built a few for other people, he does beautiful work
I got pretty much the same tool off amazon just a different name. same case and fittings. Just used it for the first time after replacing my water pump on a 5.7 '14 grand cherokee. At first I set it at 17 ( rated for 18) and it was slowly losing pressure. I pumped it up again and it lost a few psi even slower. Pumped it up to 18 about 10 minutes ago and it's holding steady. What's up with that? Maybe the tool itself where it connects to the radiator needed a better seal? I couldn't hear air or anything. Haven't seen any leaks yet.
Spray around the connections with soapy water
