 Really satisfiedJun 01, 2010
I'm just a guy who works on his own vehicles, and since I keep my vehicles running a long time, I thought I would spring for this tool when debugging a coolant loss.
It is an absolute pleasure to use. The parts are mostly metal and substantial. The manual explains well how to use it. The case protects the tool, holds the manual, and has room for another adpater or two.
Out of the box, it works without additional adapters on my my Jeep Grand Cherokee and my Jeep Wrangler. I had a leaky freeze plug on the Wrangler (between the motor and transmission) and this tool helped me verify my repair was going to hold before putting the whole vehicle back together.
These days, I use it every few months as preventative maintenance. Its better to find a leak in the garage than be stranded on the interstate.
I'd definitely recommend it to others.

 Stant 12270 30 Pound Cooling System And Pressure Cap TesterApr 11, 2010
Device arrived as expected. I used it the first time, on my car, and it worked as expected however I used it the second time about 2 minutes later and it failed at half it's rated capacity. Being an excellent mechanic I disassembled the device and corrected the flaw. I'm none too satisfied with the as sold condition of the device. Seems like the seller had an issue with the device and promptly sold it rather than fix it properly or return it to the manufacturer for replacement. Fortunately I have repaired the device and it now works properly. Were it not for my own mechanical ability this device would have been utterly useless.

good tool for home mechanicsMar 12, 2010
this air pump is very nicely made with solid craftsmanship. it is air-tight and can detect the slightest leakage in the system. the price is reasonable. even with the purchase of an additional BMW adapter, I still spent less money than what I could have on other brands which may or may not fit on my 740 even with those included adapters. so choose this pressure tester and pick a right adapter, and your car's cooling system is in good hand.

No reason to buy anything more expensiveOct 27, 2009
I have owned the Snap-On version of this item in the past and there is no point in paying over twice as much when this item does the same job. I just used this a few weeks ago and it found the leak in 15 seconds. It's a fairly straightforward item and it does what it is supposed to do. Again I see no reason to pay over $100 for a Snap-On/Matco/Mac brand when this one does the job just great. It's well-made and works perfectly.

very well made, works greatMay 19, 2009
One of the lowest priced cooling system pressure testers available, yet very well made of good substantial materials. The pump body is all metal - no cheap plastic. Most of what you are paying for in the more expensive kits is all the adapters. If you can use a standard "A" cap, then a simple model like this that doesn't come with a lot of adapters is all you need. It works very well and is very easy to use. You can also order from Stant any adapters you need. Stant is a very well known name in cooling system components, and the quality of this tool shows why.
