Pros & Cons
Pros
This thing rocks! This thing is awesome. I read many reviews and some said it was not genuine otc.
It works well. In bursts and some sustained periods. They seem to have fixed all of the * problems.
Using this tool is an important step when doing a system flush that is often overlooked. No issues with coming apart with flow pieces installed correctly. Turns a messy job even messier but it works as designed.
Had used radiator flush cleaner and compressed air before with slight increase in temp. First thing i discovered is you need to insure the hose is fully seated. Tightened all footings with teflon tape.
Highlights
Quality
For all these complaints, i was very impressed with the function of this unit.
Worked good, could be higher quality of tool, don't know how long it will last in shop environment
The water continuously runs out of it with the trigger's function to only supply air, thus shooting the water out.
It was so bad that with the drain plug completely removed (it isn't supposed to come all the way out) no liquid of any sort would escape.
Competitiveness
All in all, so far it's a success.
)if they'd have made the tip of the nozzle just slightly smaller so i could force it into my heater core this would be a 5-star review!
