3 oz bottle way to small and since magnet is weak I'd suggest a way to hold it in place. I used a slot where the coil joints the frame above bleeder. I suggest you coat the bleeder tube connection with grease to keep air from going into the bleeder threads during process. It came with 2 small hoses?? and 1 longer one. Longer one was about 1 ft long, 2 ft would be better. Bled each front brake in less than 2 minutes each.

Don't bother
Flimsy little product. Tubbing is too small for standard car bleeder valves. Don't bother spending the money

Comments about Autocraft 7 Piece One-Man Brake Bleeder:
Calling it one-man is accurate but a little ambitious. It relies on self creating vacuum of the included reservoir, after pushing down on the pedal, to hold the pressure. You as the "one-man" have to then get out of your vehicle and open/close the bleeder valves with each pedal push. Not the quickest or most efficient way to bleed hydraulics but does just that. Magnet not even strong enough to hold an empty bottle on any ferrous metal. No instructions.

Comments about Autocraft 7 Piece One-Man Brake Bleeder:
This was a time saver. The magnet is weak, but I used a stronger magnet and it held to any part of the rusted car I needed it to stick. A lot of the other reviews complained about the bottle being small. This keep me from draing the RES.

Comments about Autocraft 7 Piece One-Man Brake Bleeder:
This was a great tool that saved me a lot of time and frustration. Loosen up the bleeder, then put the conical fitting into the hole in the bleeder. After that, you pump the brakes until there's no more air in the line: very easy and being able to do it without an extra person was great. The only downfall is the magnet is weak, but on my car I was able to rest the bottle on an edge and did not rely solely on the magnet to support the bottle. Otherwise, this thing was great and can't be beat for the price.

Comments about Autocraft 7 Piece One-Man Brake Bleeder:
Great = works well on dodge caravan, saved me over $75 over having a shop do it.
Not Great = no description of how all the fittings included are to be used, Bleed screw connector not soft enough to be a secure connection, ( has tendency to get blown off by bleed flow.

Comments about Autocraft 7 Piece One-Man Brake Bleeder:
The bottle is very small, so you will have to empty it a lot. However, because it was small, kept the bottle light so the magnet was strong enough to stay stay on my metal.
I found that the plastic adapters did not fit in my bleeder screw, also the hoses weren't wide enough off the bat. I had to work the hoses to fit over the bleeder screw, once on though, did not have any issues with bleeding my brakes.

yeah the bottles small they arnt going to pack a 12 oz for you but if you try a few water bottles , well i found on that worked great and the tubes dont fit because the wernt mean to fit the bleeder valve tghey fit the pointed plug that goes into the valve , it,s not comparabl;e to a pro kit but it will get the job done on a budget.

container and magnet are too small. It's easier to get a stranger on the street to pump your brake pedal than to keep emptying the small bottle
