$29.96 Hot Buy at Sears - Mityvac Cooling System Automotive Radiator Test Kit

[EdJack]

Seems like a pretty good deal. Doesn't seem very heavy duty for auto shop use, but might be good for a weekend mechanic.

Can only imagine the hand cramps from it.
but if you don't need it all the time, can't see why it would be a bad choice.
Good find op.

 

[EdJack]

Deal is back again at $29.96.

But even better this time around, because it is NOT a Hot Buy. It is just a regular sale price item, and is coupon code friendly for both Dollar Off and Points Back coupon codes and Surprise Points friendly.

 

[djscotty]

Damn it's already dead back up to $46.40

 

[Forsythe04]

I was in my local store and they had them red tagged for 22 dollars. I should have jumped on it.

 

[EdJack]

It came in today, here's some pics. Definitely worth 30 bucks if/when it comes around again.

 

[EdJack]

Deal is back $29.96.

I got one last time around, probably not good enough for a Radiator Shop. But great deal for occasional use for the weekend mechanic.

Although mostly all plastic, seems very well made. A very heavy gauge durable plastic.

Stupid question: So this is really only useful if you have a radiator leak somewhere right?

Cooling system leaks - Radiator, radiator cap, reserve bottle, hoses, loose clamps, water pump, head gasket. The beauty of this type of unit is that you can test the system cold, instead of having to find the leak on a hot engine.

Ive used both vacuum pumps and pressure pumps like these to leak test manifold gaskets on cars/bikes, test vacuum actuators for stuff etc etc, useful to have.

 

[nperkins]

will it do suction & pressure? Or just pressure?

 

[Bansheeboy11]

This one only pressure, they make pumps that do both in one as well but cost much more.

 

[gungatim]

cool, in. free shipping and used points. worth it just for the adapters. heck even a rebuild kit for my other mityvac costs more than that...

 

[EdJack]

Back again.

Also, you can use either the Surprise Points of $10 for $20 in tools, or add a small filler item to get your cart over $30 and use the $15 points for $20 tools. You should have one of those surprise points offers in you SYWR account that expires today (unless you've already used it).

 

[Jarhead0408]

Thanks EdJack.

I'm in for one. Didn't get to use the Surprise Points, but it's still a good deal!

 

[xriderbc]

Still going. Got one today with $15 in surprise points.

 

[zx2slow]

I have their MV8500 kit, its nice as a standalone pump but the accuracy of the gauge ***** for anything critical like setting turbo wastegate cracking pressure.

 

[MadMark]

Does it come with enough adaptors.
Seems like things like this never have the one for the car you own.

 

[jobo1004]

Any good suggestions for a cheap filler item to get over $30?

 

[Jarhead0408]

Just received mine today. Looks like a nice piece of kit.

 

[EdJack]

Here's a 99 cent filler, that would be free shipping if added along with the Mityvac.

It also looks like you will get $5.00 in bonus points with the order as well right now.

 

[volunteers]

Any coupon to use when above $30?

 

[EdJack]

Any coupon to use when above $30?

No coupon, but you should have $15 in surprise points for $30 in Tools.

 

[6MocoA]

I tried to hold off, but couldnt resist. I got one. Should be able to pick up next week at my local store.

 

[thecody59]

Bought this last night when they had $5 back in points so i got this for only $25 great deal.

 

[PJNJ]

I could have used this a couple of years ago. Been considering getting on since then. Saw this thread and bought one the other day - should be at the local Kmart for pick-up on Tuesday. This place is great. Thanks for the heads up.

 

[MattVette89]

As it turns out today....I have a need for this. Just ordered one. A few bucks cheaper than Amazon prime. Also found the pick set I was looking for finally got marked down for Craftsman Club, so I ordered that, too.

Thanks for the heads up.

 

[shiftdrift]

In for one with surprise points. 20 bucks total

 

[Richard Cranium]

They sold so many of them they raised the price up

It's no longer being listed as available through Sears, so it now defaults to a marketplace vendor (Tooltopia), hence the price change.

 

[Richard Cranium]

Well it looks like sears found some more of these, they are at 29.96 again..

 

[EdJack]

Back again, $29.96 if anyone is still looking.
