Decent
Came broken in the box.i was refunded and ended up buying the same one off the snap-on truck for the same money with a 1 year warranty. Works great but for the money you would think it would be made of metal instead of cheap plastic. Only vacuum filler we have found at the for dealer that makes a tight seal in all vehicles. I haven't come across any vehicles that it doesn't work on so far.

Need case!!
Viene sin estuche!!, el estuche es muy necesario para guardarla despues de usarse, ya que queda con residuos de anticongelante y este se derrama en donde este guardada como en mi caso la guardo en mi carra de herramientas!!

A must have for those shade tree mechanics and those who value time.
I have been wrenching for about 20 years and it always was challenging for me to burp the coolant system. I have an old Land Rover Discovery 2 and this truck is a bare to burp the coolant system due to complex routing of coolant hoses. It takes me days and all kinds of tricks to fully burp the system.I used this last night and it took me all but maybe 5 minutes to fully fill the cooling system and having the confidence of not having air pocket that can create hot spots on the engine is just priceless.It connects to a compressed air source and you place the conical part of the tool into the reservoir or opening of the radiator. You hit a small button, it will start drawing vacuum and it does so in seconds. Watch the needle hold vacuum for some time and if it does not leak, you dunk the fill hose into the source for the coolant (which you should have enough amount to fill the entire cooling system at once otherwise you will have air pocket during the transfer of fluid.) open the valve and vacuum sucks in the fluid. Let it do its thing for a few minutes until it completely fills the system and the hoses are no longer collapsed and you are done!Having confidence that you are not going to blow your head gasket due to lack of coolant or presence of air pocket is a thing of past with this tool. I believe this is exactly the same thing as Airlift II Econ version.

Made for snapon
The Robinair coolant refiller is the same exact thing as bluepoints refiller. I've used for 3 years and no problems.

Worth the Money
I have spent hours and hours trying to burp an air bubble out of a 2nd gen Nissan Xterra over the last year or so. I finally got fed up with it and bought this vacuum bleeder after eyeing it for a number of months. Now I'm kicking myself for not buying it sooner. It makes filling the system super easy and has completely eliminated any air bubbles as far as I can tell a week later (it was very obvious before in cold weather - heat wouldn't pump into the cab unless on the throttle, and the thermostat was good). You do need an air compressor. I have a 30 gallon 1.5HP (underpowered for it's size) and only cycled once during the process - so a smaller compressor should be just fine if you take a little more time to let the compressor catch up. I also highly recommend getting a large syringe or small pump and some tube to draw out excess coolant if you over-fill like I did.HIGHLY recommended. I certainly plan on keeping this and using it every time I do cooling system work.

This one is great for the money
This one is great for the money, does the same job as all the other expensive ones except cheaper and quicker for the simple fact that it has a push button that you hold and when you release it it stops the venturi vacuum effect. good because there no changing hoses or adapter for neck and simpler design, and the one size fits all has worked on every vehicle I have tried.Only thing is since a push button you cant just hook it up and walk away like the other ones but who needs to do that when you should be making sure there's no leaks and its fast enough as it is anyways.Only problem I had which isn't necessarily the products fault is that do to the nature of some coolants, the coolant can be sucked up into the tool and gauge which if not cleaned or used frequently, it can become blocked, restricted, mine the gauge stopped working, took it off and cleaned up the port and worked fine after that..... over all great product for the value compared to others**********Update, not sure if its the design but does not get all the air out of the cooling system and takes longer to fill then some other ones I've used********* will try other types and see if they're better.

It does the job, not sure how long it will last
Easy to use, not a fan of the all plastic construction. Gets the job done.

Time Saver!!
I was really on the fence about purchasing an air lift. So much so that I elected to purchase this unit rather than the far more expensive Snap-On unit. I have found since that I made the right choice. Vacuum gauge tells you if there are leaks in the system. The air lift pulls vacuum on the entire coolant system in 20-50 seconds depending on size then allows coolant to flow in as the vacuum is released making system bleeding a breeze. I have found certain engines may require the system to be โburpedโ afterwards (mainly the 5.7 hemi) others such as the 2.4 and 3.6 Chrysler engines and small block/LS Chevrolet engines do not need any additional bleeding. Just add a little extra coolant in the reservoir and drive til thermostat opens to confirm repair

Robinair 75260 / VW VR6 24V 2003
Noticed a coolant leak on the good olโ VR6 the other day. On cold mornings my coolant light would kick on telling me my coolant level in my expansion tank was low. After many months of procrastination, I decided to give it a go. Turns out the seal on my thermostat housing was torn. No biggie... ended up swapping out for a brand new housing, thermostat, temp sensor, and seals. Time to bleed the system. Grabbed the Robinair coolant tool and started the bleeding process. I must say, after bleeding cars with a coolant funnel for years this process was night and day. Was done in about 15 minutes and out the door for a leak check and test drive. Didnโt even need to top anything off. Just a couple of key points here. 1. The tool does not come with an air fitting so make sure you have you own. 2. When tightening the air fitting use teflon tape and tighten very lightly as the structure is made of plastic 3. Be very delicate with the tool, looks to be made of hard plastic so donโt be a butcher! All in all what a great tool. Would buy this again and again!

Great tool, Amazon let me down
I am an automotive technician by trade and RobinAir is a professional tool company so i wanted this coolant refill tool. I used it quite a bit at work, however it did develop a leak in the valve and wouldn't work anymore, I contacted RobinAir Canada and they told me to return the the retailer I bought it from (Amazon) as it comes with a 1 year warranty that the retailer is responsible to cover. I brought this to Amazons attention and they claim to have sent me a replacement that was lost in the mail (I have never lost an amazon package before) Which then turned into a refund (That I didn't receive) When I talked with a customer service rep they told me it was past the return window and that they couldn't do anything else. So in short, I like the tool but I don't like how Amazon doesn't honor a manufacturers warranty. I will be buying my stuff elsewhere from now on

Makes cooling system work a breeze
Been using vacuum style coolant fillers for years. Had a Snap-on branded Vac-n-Fill I bought 13yrs ago that I sold to abuddy of mine, decided to buy this one instead and I must say I like it much better than the snappy one I had. gets a nice tight seal around the rad cap or expansion tank with no leak and pulls vacuum and fills the avg system in matter of a min or two. works great and id recommend it to anyone who does lots of cooling system work.

Made in USA! High quality
This is my real review of this product. Today I finally got the chance to use this at work. I installed a new radiator on a 2017 dodge grand caravan and this tool performed like it is a snap on. The vacuum is solid, the cone is stuck there on the radiator filler neck really good and it took only seconds to purge the air out of the system and filling up is as fast as it purge. This tool made me skip the bleeding part of the job. The unit that I got is made in USA, very high quality and I'm very happy with this tool.

10 star if I could
Good product will buy it again if I have to it takes 90 psi or 3cfm my little makita man700 did it but if your little air compressor didn't support 3cfm at 90 psi might need a bigger air compressor.Just a good note make sure your engine block is completely drained and all the coolant it out or it will spray and make a mess but it does fit in the radiator fill side and it will work in a 1990 Ford F-150 a 1013 Ford Escape and a 2010 Lincoln mxk it doesn't say much but if you can keep vacuum pressure it will not have air locks or if it doesn't work do the process again but more carfully
