Fluid extractor recommendations
 
Looking for a recommendation for a pneumatic fluid extractor setup. Don't want to break the bank on it, but really want something that "just works" without a lot of fiddling around.

I've been thinking about this one.

What are you guys using?

Thanks,
Brian

I use a stainless turkey baster that has a silicone bulb, but I only use it for brake and clutch fluid.

I've never had that tool, but I have had pretty good luck with OEM tools for jobs I only do occasionally.

I've not used much of the OEM tools, but haven't really seen anything bad about them. Reviews on that unit aren't terrible. Appreciate the feedback :cool:

Just an update. I bought the OEM Tools fluid extractor. It is a well built and seems to work very well. I tested it on a gallon of water and it vacuumed it out with ease and was surprisingly quick.

I am using it with air, and is a bit noisy. That is the air exhaust, and no fault of the tool.

Highly recommend :thumbup:

Finally got an opportunity to use it. Drained the auto trans and didn’t spill a single drop.

Very happy with the purchase!
