This is how I see it. Snap On makes a very, very good tool. So good, people copy it and cheapen it up and their cheapened up version doesn't work as well. Even though it looks the same. Once you experience the head opening up and starting to round O2 sensors, etc. its easy to see where the...

I saw those too. Matco will sell you either powered or hand pump style, and Snap On is selling Blue Point that is for hand pump as well.

They're the only thing Matco ever made themselves.

You can use flexible conduit with stranded THHN. :) Not sure why you don't want to use the Romex.

The pictures don't show it very well. You hook shop air up to the top of the bottle and the vacuum generator inside creates a vacuum. The rubber cone shaped part is held against the top of the power steering pump cap. Hold it there for 30-60 seconds and air should be purged from the system...

Definitely do not use #10 or a 30A breaker! For a 7.5HP motor, by code you need #8 THHN (in conduit) or #6 NM-b (Romex). Breaker should be at least 40A but can be as large as 100A to prevent nuisance tripping.

I thought of this tool as something like the vacuum air lift coolant system fillers. Sure you can do it without a dedicated tool in most cases, but a dedicated tool can make the job easier.

Has anyone used anything like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HMXFBH0/?tag=atomicindus08-20 to bleed air from the power steering system after changing a pump or steering box?

OP, Based on your requirements, it sounds like the Matco ADV are the way to go. They should be as good or better than Sunex and if you break one or wear one out, your Matco truck can replace it.

I don't know if Sunex has a factory in Taiwan or if they have PTP make them. The Matco ADV are similar to Sunex, but are definitely different. The Sunex have flat drive ends like Snap On impacts, whereas the ADV are recessed like the Matco hardline. The Sunex also have the lowest chamfer...
