Keep Your Vehicle in Tip-Top Shape with MityVac Tools and Testers
It’s hard to believe, but the MityVac handheld vacuum pump was originally intended for medical applications. Thankfully for us gearheads, someone had the bright idea to give it a try in the automotive world and a legend was born.
Vacuum Brake and Clutch Bleeder Kits
Bleeding hydraulic brakes and clutches has traditionally been a two-person job. It’s just physically impossible to be inside the car pushing the brake/clutch pedal in and at the wheel/firewall to open the bleeder screws to let air out at the same time.
MityVac Vacuum Brake and Clutch Bleeder Kits solve that. They use your workshop’s compressed air system to draw air and fluid out of hydraulic brake and clutch systems, turning what was once a messy chore for two buddies into a quick and clean procedure that someone can do alone. Features include:
- Capable of extracting used brake fluid while refilling with new
- Isolated flow and pressure/vacuum valves for simple functionality and control
- Comfortable lever-action throttle with lock-on latch
- Durable, molded composite handle
- Automatic shutoff to prevent overfill
- Integrated hanging hook doubles as a hose wrap for convenient storage
- Universal bleed screw adapter conforms to most common bleed screw sizes
- Integrated muffler for quiet operation
- Redundant pressure control systems maintain peak output pressure below 30 PSI for safety
- Available with 1.3- or 2-quart capacity reservoirs
- Includes fluid dispensing hose and wand, vacuum bleed hose and adapters, master cylinder refill kit, and user manual
With MityVac’s Tune-Up Hand Pump Kit, you can perform literally hundreds of mechanical tests. Some of the common checks include engine diagnostic evaluations, diesel fuel priming, power steering evacuation, windshield repair, turbocharger testing, vacuum testing, fluid transfer and evacuation, and even brake and clutch system bleeding. Features include:
- Selectline hand vacuum pump with 2-inch premium gearless diaphragm gauge
- 4.5-ounce fluid reservoir bottle with fluid transfer and storage lids
- Modern, ergonomic design for comfortable, long-term use
- Convenient one finger vacuum release
- Reinforced handle for improved durability
- Fully serviceable and rebuildable at home
- Includes manifold plugs, bleed screw adapters, tubing connectors and adapters, vacuum cap plugs, master cylinder refill kit, molded storage case, and user manual
Low cylinder compression can lead to all sorts of problems. And the best way to test for it is with a MityVac Compression Test Kit. It includes everything needed to test for ring or cylinder head problems, sticking valves, blown head gasket(s), and more. Additional features include:
- Large, easy-to-read 2¾-inch diameter Bourdon tube gauge with readings indicated in bar, PSI, kPa, and kg/cm² scales of measure
- Manual pressure release for maintaining peak readings
- Professional-grade threaded adapters for leak-proof seals
- Extended hose for hard-to-reach applications
- Quick-disconnect coupler for easy accessory changes
- Air-hold adapter for performing valve seal repairs without removing cylinder head
- Adapters to fit motorcycle, lawn mower, chain saw, and other small engines
- Includes 14mm and 18mm short-thread adapter, 14mm long-thread adapter, 15 inches of hose, molded storage case, and user manual
