As far as I am concerned, I am not able to independently verify the precision of this tool, but I think it might be pretty effective nonetheless. On two separate cars, I tested it. In Car1, the brakes just had to be bled and the fluid refilled recently. It was about 11 months ago that Car2 had its brake fluid refilled and bleeding performed. The water content in Car 1 was zero, while that in Car 2 ranged from zero to one percent. My amateur test of the tool has led me to endorse it.
On the day of delivery, I thought the product looked good and was likely to work quite As a result, the cap on the brake fluid bottle broke on the first day, with the first use of the test. My first step was to remove the cap, use the brake tester, which did work properly, wipe down the tip of the tester with a shop rag as instructed, and reassemble the brake tester. In the morning, I installed the cap and when I went to check another vehicle later in the day, it A lack of quality plastic most likely contributed to the issue. It was disappointing to find out that the product was so expensive compared to other products that were available at cheaper prices.
I found that the brake fluid tester picked up moisture clearly in the brake fluid I tested. One of the few reasons I rated it 3 stars was that the cap used to protect the probes while not in use began to crack within In order to prevent the cracks from spreading, I melted the area around them with a soldering iron.
This document can be used in several ways Choosing fluid #1 through #8 should be done with the switch on. Then insert probes in the liquid and read The tester will shut off after 30 seconds if you don't do it immediately. Other than waiting, there is no option for turning off the machine. You must wait until the tester timed out, before you can test again if you wish to sample two fluids. The device appears to read something since I got two different readings from two different sources of fluid. This is what I'm guessing.
The use of this is confusing. Are you unsure whether the battery is dead or whether the device is working? There was no instruction manual included with this.
I use it all the time in my shop, as it works as advertised.
A new battery was installed but would not give a reading, and it only stayed on for longer but still did not give a reading There is no detail instruction with a check list of possible problems.
I cannot present my clientele in that way.
