On my last trip out I noticed some "drifting" in my steering and the wheel would continue to turn beyond lock. Indicators of low hydraulic fluid levels, so I added more and bleed the system, works like a charm now. Also the system I used to bleed it is the best system I've used.

A lot of people have hammy hands. smile It would suck to be in the middle of this and have that thing get stripped like it does for a lot of people. If you intend to do this more than one time, spend the money and get the better tool.

Don't have to be so defensive because you spent $80 instead of $13. As far as my kit, I've used it 4x already and no issues.

Defensive? You didn't see the smiley face? I was more making a point for others who read this, not you, I can see your happy with your choice and that is good.
