I have used this silverline twice, and it’s been a blessing so far.
It includes an automatic master filler so you dont have to keep refilling the master cylinder.
The pump itself is all metal, but the guage cover is plastic instead of glass.
The jars are plastic, which is normal, but I’d like to see glass bottles in the next release.
All in all, this is worth three times what I paid; $49.99 plus free two-day prime shipping.

This is definitely a good product, but it can take a while to do the bleeding solely with this tool. I think the best use of this tool is for bench bleeding parts (e.g. master or slave cylinders) before you install them. This tool does come with a lot of extra plugs and adapters to facilitate bench bleeding. I ended up spending about half a day bleeding my replacement clutch’s hydraulic system/lines before it worked adequately. This is usually a quicker job with a second person pumping the brake/clutch, but I guess if you don’t have a second person this is a decent alternative. It is built well and it works, but it’s no panacea for your hydraulic bleeding woes.

It also includes a master cylinder auto refill kit, just hook it up to a small or large bottle of brake fluid and it keeps the master cylinder full while you bleed.
My opinion is this kit is worth 3 times what it costs.

This is a great tool. It can be switched between vacuum and pressure. It is pro quality all metal. The plastic models that sell at auto parts stores don’t support pressure, just vacuum. Comes with several attachments and brake bleeding kit. Word of warning: I got mine fron Automotive Specialty Tools. When their order confirmation came, it was for an older model 4000, not the 8500 I ordered. The tool is the same, but with fewer accessories. Luckily, I called before it was shipped and they corrected the order. The thing is, the person on the phone didn’t even question me. She said, “Oh my tool guy said they were the same thing, sorry.” It felt a lot like either a bait and switch, or dumping old stock. Just make sure what you get is what you ordered.

I usually have to wait for someone to be around to help whenever I perform a brake job on one of my kids cars. But this little tool works like a charm and makes my life a bit easier. Well worth the money spent. Seems very well made. I take very good care of my tools, so this will last many, many years with no trouble or problems.
