SmartFit Universal Cooling System Vehicle Pressure Test Kit (95-0700)

This was easy to use and works great I have used it multiple times no problems

After consistently having to top off the coolant in my daily driver with no obvious leaks it was time to get a kit of my own since even I was getting tired of taking the ride to a friends house to use his. Clearly there are several options available (some lower some higher priced) but the majority of them have a selection of fittings for different applications so the fact that this kit is universal is what sold me. Like most people these days before making the purchase I searched YouTube for more info and was happy to find positive comments from several users. The kit has worked perfectly for me and all the components appear to be very well made. The only downside is the inability to test the radiator cap (although it doesn't make that claim in the description) so keep that in mind before purchasing...

This tool works as advertised but only after a slight modification!We were working on a Agco-Allis GT55 tractor and needed to pressure test our new hoses for leaks. Obviously, I was eager to try this new tool out. After looking at the adapters, it was quite clear which adapter to choose to seal the radiator with. Next, I grab the medium sized adapter and try to fit it into the opening. To my amazement it wouldn't fit, the threaded-brass part was slightly to big!Now I'm getting mad, so I remove the rubber from the threaded part and try only the rubber to see if it fits into the radiator opening. Sure enough it easily slides right in. Being a machinist, I immediately chuck the threaded-brass part into my lathe and turn it down just enough to where it will fit into the radiator opening.After reassembling the rubber and threaded-brass part back together, it easily slides into the radiator and I begin screwing the two together to create the seal. Next, I attached the pump and applied 15psig to the system and found a small leak due to a hose clamp not being tight enough. After sorting that problem, we re-pressurized the system and it held at 15psig for 10+ minutes.Satisfied that the system was now leak free, we finished reassembling the tractor and put it back to work with no overheating or coolant leaking issues!Problem solved and onto the next repair!Overall, I'm pleased with the tool, price, and performance but unless you own a lathe or your creative with a mill,, I think its a little far fetched to call this tool "Universal" right out of the box hence the reason I'm only giving it 4 out of 5 stars. If you have to machine something to make it work for you then the tool needs to be revised slightly.

I've only used this unit once so far but I am happy with it as far as first impressions go. All the components feel to be of good quality. The adapter I used fit securely in the radiator neck and the pump develops pressure quickly. I do a fair bit of automotive cooling system work so it shouldn't take me long to use all of the included adapters and get a better picture of the performance and durability of the product. So far 5 stars, I will revisit this review as I use it more at work.

This coolant pressure test kit was money well spent,I'm an auto mechanic and know that buying adapters for these things can get very expensive very fast so I took a chance with it and don't regret it one bit, it fits honda's all the way up to full size vehicles,it's made out of high quality materials and replacement parts are available individually from red line and the pump has a gauge that's easy to read and again is high quality. By the way Sylvia is my wife,I used her Amazon account.

Works for just abt every car i had a pressure test on even the plastic container. Like the tahoes . Great product if you know what your doing. Wish i would of got this before i got the $40 pressure test. Which still was great i got this because i lost the other set and i figured this is my career an i should get the best for me and my customers. Only down fall is the rad cap test but lucky. I had one from my old kit which fits in the extra space in the box

After one year of use I noticed that the rubber fittings deformed the coolant reservoirs so much that the original cap will not seal resulting in a small coolant and pressure leak. Also fittings pop off randomly from tanks.

I love the tool and solve my problem with my cars
