Origin

A 1989 Chevy pickup brought Phoenix Systems into existence in 1994 when Jon Petty, the company’s founder, developed a rudimentary reverse fluid injection system to bleed a clutch system. That early prototype was developed and refined into the multi-patented product selection of brake bleeder reverse bleed technology systems used by thousands of professionals and at-home mechanics across the country.

So effective is the reverse brake bleeder line of products that the MaxPro is now considered a standard issue tool in the US military.

Specs

  • Assembled in the USA. 
  • Made of die-cast aluminum.  
  • Weighs 5 lbswith the carrying case and accessories.

Storage and display

It is shipped in a sturdy carrying case inside a box. The units per package (shipment) can be adjusted depending on quantity ordered.  This tool could be placed anywhere on the truck, as distributors would only need to display the tool and not the case.  The tool could be displayed and the case could be stored out of sight on the truck. A DVD comes with each tool as well.

Testimonials

I have been bleeding brakes and clutches for decades in a professional setting.  This is the best bleeder I have ever used and far less expensive than the second best.  --Jake C. (Riverside, CT)

The MaxPro is a fine instrument specifically designed to address complex hydraulic system bleeding requirements.  You have never seen an automotive tool with the workmanship of a precision firearm.  The MaxPro is in a class by itself.  --Daniel Mora (California)
