Mityvac Opinions

[uncletater]

All i am looking at the Mityvac Fluid extractor.

Northern tool has the manual and pneumatic for the same price.

I was hoping I could get the opinion of those her who have them and/or have used them to which would be better.

I am leaning towards pneumatic, but would love to hear pros and cons from the GJ experts.

Thanks

My manual one has been pretty good since 1993. I did manage to poison a rubber part once and put a rebuild kit in it.

I have a pneumatic model, it works well. It was a little slow at removing differential fluid but that is almost expected. The only negative is that it is a little noisy.

When I bought mine tooltopia had the best pricing.

I have the pneumatic one, two actually, one at work and one at home. My shop has the manual one. Just takes too long for any large extractions. The pneumatic one can **** a transmission pan or radiator dry in just a few minutes.

Weve got 3 or 4 at the shop. They are used almost daily and work very well.

I've got the Mityvac 7201. It's phenomenal. Just don't store oil in it as that seems to tear them up. I can do an oil change on out Passat TDI from the top without even putting the car in the air. I tested how much oil is left from extraction but pulling it from the top then removing the plug. Less than a cap full came out. Some cars have oil pan baffles that make getting to all the oil impossible but it works great in many situations.

On the pneumatic ones do you need to run air through it all the time you are sucking oil out of the car or does it take air just to build vacuum and then you can shut the air off when it pulls the oil out?

We finally re-tooled and are coming out with a new 9.0L follow up to our previous model. Works very well and should be a lower price point that what's out there right now.

Manual only to start.

I've used both, and was rather emphatically talked out of the pneumatic model by a tool vendor on one occasion. The manual ones get the job done just fine, with the bonus of not making the racket the air powered version does and being more portable.

Needs to be hooked to air the whole time
