Vacuum Hand Pumps

[GarageGuy89]

Just bought a might-vac MV8500 on impulse. I'm usually the guy that spends a week researching something before I make a purchase. Can anyone speak to these, so I don't have any buyers remorse?

Is there a better product I should of bought for a home/shop user?

I always find myself needing one of these so I finally splurged...

.... dependents on what you are vac... I guess.... I find typical hand vac like these works my hands out a lot... I would have to spend a little for the Fluid Evacuator/extractors if I were to use it around cars. but that is just IMO...

I've had the same Mity-vac for probably 25 years. Still works great. Best way to bleed brakes.

It came with a couple plastic or acrylic plates, that supposedly fit over your typical master cylinders. They have a hole in them and an adapter so you can put a bottle of fluid upside down on it and bleed something as a one man crew.

At least that's the way I understood it. There is no description for them or pictures.

Doesn't sound like it would work, especially when the plates are like 4 or 5 times bigger then any master cylinder I have on my cars/trucks.

Anyone here use these before?

Have a craftsman branded 8500 and it works fine. parts are easy to come by if you need them.
