Had to bleed my brakes. Kit came. Opened it. Read directions. 20 minutes later brakes were working great. After reading a few other comments here are some tips:1. Go easy on the plastic parts. None of mine broke, but I can see how somebody who was not careful could break the threads off the funnel. The funnel method is very good.2. You'll likely spill some fluid near your pads. "Nah... not me. I've bled car brakes and hydraulic clutches. No problem." But... you will. So do yourself a favor and either remove your pads or cover them with saran wrap. You cover them so no fluid can get on them, then poke the smallest necessary hole in it to get it over the fluid nipple. Very easy.3. Be sure to follow the instructions to get the air out. It only takes a couple of extra minutes.4. Watch how the stuff comes out of that box. and good luck getting it all back in as neatly. I wish I'd taken a picture.

Do Your Own Brakes
This works as advertised and will save you alot of money. Doing the actual brake bleeding isn't as hard as it seems. I was confronted with this decision after contacting the store where I bought my bike. The tech was abrupt and after listening him tel me that it will take teo weeks to get my bike back (we're swamped, was his excuse) I decided to do my own, and am glad I did too. I got the kit in, read the directions. My brakes were slightly different, but not a problem. I did a quick bleed after my brakes softened up from sitting all winter. I didnt remove the pads or anything like that. just a flush of fluid and fill...then good to go. Not hard or intimidating. Try it you wont be sorry having this new knowledge.

Easy to use and effective.
Inexpensive and easy to use.I needed to bleed my Shimano XT M8000 disc brakes and this system worked great!I did not use the fluid supplied, I ordered Finish Line Mineral Oil instead since I have some friends that have had luck with it.Kit was easy to use and should last a very long time. Bleeding was very fast and very easy to use.The supplied funnel seems to fine, but it is smaller than the actual Shimano version. I had the Shimano one on hand, so I used the Shimano funnel for the waste fluid since I was concerned about over flowing the one from the kit.After bleeding, I’m sure the kit funnel would have been fine, but I’ll keep using the Shimano one till it breaks and keep the kit funnel as a backup.If you need a simple and effective bleeding kit, this is perfect!

Really cheap plastic
The kit as a whole has everything you need and is reusable. Nice syringe, the funnel and other plastic bits are really cheap. Be careful when attaching your funnel as the threads break off very easily if over tighten. I feel there are better kits and am dissatisfied with this one, get the double syringe kits or anything that doesn’t have a cheap funnel.

Complete, easy to use, and versatile
After having avoided them for several years, I wound up having two disc brake-equipped bikes in our stable within six months. They are, quite simply, better than rim brakes in power, predictability, and modulation. After decades of experience with cables, I was very comfortable and quick with their service, and did it all myself. But despite many years of experience with motorcycle and car brakes, I approached my first service need with the disc brakes with a bit of trepidation. Fortunately, I bought this kit before it was needed, and was very happy with it. The adapters are plentiful and the parts are well-designed for their purpose. I wish I had a larger version of the catch bottle for my motorcycle! You should consult the internet for your particular version of hydraulic brakes, but this kit is likely to make servicing them easy enough for anyone even casually familiar with bleeding hydraulics. Highly recommended.

Perfect kit for bleeding Shimano Disk Brakes
The kit came with everything needed to bleed my Shimano XT brakes. The instructions are worthless because they only provide a list of parts and they appear to have been Google translated from Chinese. Chinese instructions are included, just in case you prefer Mandarin, lol. I would have given the kit 4 stars because of the instructions and the similarly worthless website, however, since I had quite a few laughs because of the translation I gave the kit 5 stars.Go to GMBH video on YouTube "How to Bleed Shimano Disk Brakes", and you will have the step by step instructions you need.It only took me 15 minutes to bleed my rear brake this being my first time.There's enough mineral oil for both brakes, possibly even 3 bleeds.Anyone can do this and save quite bit of $$$, vs taking your bike to the local bike shop.

Works well.
Comes with everything you need to get your brakes bled. The included wrench is your typical stamped steel tool, which fits reasonably well, and will work fine in a pinch, but if you have a real set of wrenches I would advise you to use them. Aside from that, this kit is pretty decent. The plunger in the syringe is nice and easy to modulate, and the fill cup fits perfectly. Do be careful threading the cup in though, as I imagine it would be quite easy to strip.

I've never bled brakes before but this kit made it easy. The instructions are pretty minimal so I leveraged youtube as there are much better video instructions there. The quality of the kit is very good in my opinion but I've never used anything else.
