I know Harbor Freight isn't known for their high quality products but this is a hard pass.



It already fell apart after one use tonight.

Invest in a pressure bleeder.  Makes it a one man job.  What my brother said all the shops use.  Something like this

alaskanassasin

I always gravity bleed.

For some reason it’s not on sale where I live. I checked the app Flipp and nothing :(

It appears there are no Loblaws stores in Windsor? London and Ottawa have it on sale this week too.

My method too, but it's harder to do these days with ABS modules and such. You damn near need something to force or pull fluid through the system.

HF and every other auto parts store, farm store, etc. sell this one, too:



It is pricier, but lasts a lifetime of brake jobs.  I am one of "those guys" that actually changes his brake fluid every 50k miles in the cars and 15k miles on my Harley.  This makes it painless.  My only wish is that it had a bigger reservoir like the one @nolaegghead posted.

I am also one of "those guys" and have that same product, it works very well.  For me, it's every three years irrespective of milage.  One caveat, don't let the master cylinder run dry.  Did that once on the vette and had to take off the MC and bench bleed it, even with it having bleeder ports.  PITA!

The product @nolaegghead posted is what I'd get if buying today.  The "large" tank is not for fluid collection, that supplies the pressure to the system.

Right, it’s just a tank for compressed air.  You fill the car’s brake reservoir up full then pressurize that.

some cars with ABS need an ODBII hooked up that can open valves in the ABS to get a complete flush.  Not a big deal unless you replace the ABS valve assembly.

Just like the old days.   Less restrictions than usual.  I'm going to use them on all the days.

Day 1

Hey bike.  Friend bought to use as a camera platform, decided to use his Jeep instead and need the cash for monitors, brackets, etc.

Anyway, bought it for SWMBO.  It’s a cool bike, folds up to fit in a trunk.

If that goes in the trunk, where does the body go?

There’s nothing better than leading them three abreast through the final turn.

Apparently in a couple of weeks we’ll be getting 2 pins in the knee and a repaired ACL for the chihuahua.

Was talking with someone with a labradoodle with the same thing.old dog.  2k going with three legs.

My dog blew his back knee ligament over a year ago. He was 13 (average breed lifespan of 10). Vet Quoted me $4600 to fix it. He’s 14 and limping around now. We manage the pain and he sleeps 23 hours a day anyway.

I think you’ll really like it; we’ve made the beef & broccoli like 3 times.  I’m making his Mapo tofu next week when my spice averse wife and daughter are in NC with my in-laws.

I have already gotten a lot out of it and we haven’t done our first cook yet. We will remedy that tonight. Got a shiny new wok to go along with it. My OG wok does not have the handle.

Love this book.  Honestly, Kenji is my go to for pretty much everything.  Between his interwebz presence, YouTube videos, and cook books he is my gold standard.

@nolaegghead I have my eye on a set of jack stands there.  They are on sale (there is a coupon for them), will they take this on top of the sale (coupon) price, or is it one discount?  I haven't bought much there.
