Setting the fluid level in front forks accurately is critical to the safe handling of your bike and this tool makes it a piece of cake.
The vast majority of workshop manuals will give you an air height for the fluid level ie the measurement from the top of the fork tube to the fluid level often with spring out and the fork at maximum compression. You simply tighten up the setting screw on the aluminium ring at the correct air height, fill the fork tube to approximately the correct height, by eye and then a little bit more. Push the metal tube into the fork leg and suck the excess fluid out using the syringe; when the fluid is at the correct height the syringe will start to suck air instead of suspension fluid. You then move to the next leg safe in the knowledge that both legs will contain exactly the same height of fluid.
This tool is of better quality than the above but not up to the professional workshop version below. As with all tools from Laser Tools it is well made.

Let customers speak for us
item easy to use, good quality.
Perfect for tidying up my 1973 Yamaha trail bikes wiring
Used this for bleeding ABS unit BMW K1200s 2005. You can do some basic bleeding by just topping up the 4 reservoirs as you bleed, but you need to get quite a volume of brake fluid going through the ABS systems before all pockets of air are flushed through. The funnel end screwed in ok but didn't seat well and all the fluid leaked out initially. Problem resolved using lots of PTFE tape tightly wound round the rubber ring section that is supposed to act as a seal. This worked very well. I give 5 stars as I would say it is impossible to bleed all the complicated ABS /SERVO unit without this tool and it worked well in the end. Advise not putting too much fluid in initially when testing the seal, as if it leaks all contents will descend onto the ABS unit, then to the floor.
Ordered this for shipping to Australia & was happy with the time it took to arrive (albeit shipping from the UK to AU is expensive). The tool itself is good quality & works well.
Only used the set a couple of times so far but it appears to be good quality and the low profile feature has already been useful. The offer price made it excellent value for money
A good quality, easy to use crimp tool.
It looks a bit flaky but actually works really well, I had no trouble reassembling my 1951 Douglas.
Using for rewiring 1968 Triumph. Good upgrade from original.
Fuel hose was good quality. However I didn’t realise they were package and not cut from a reel. I ordered 2 meters thinking it would be one continuous length but instead got 2 packets with 1 meter in each.
A whole in one brake bleed kit making life easier, used and it works, I know, surprised most don’t, but this kit actually does work and at a great price, recommend shop at the biketoolbox, this is one a many many great tools. Thanks.
Ordered a special tool, was described correctly and dispatch very fast very easy to do with NO issues would highly recommend 👌
Nice piece of kit . Well made . Good price . Always buy from BT
Fantastic... does exactly what it says and I put it on even when I'm not working on the bike just incase I drop anything when near the bike... strong and durable, covers the whole tank, Kawasaki z900rs... highly recommended.... should have got one years ago.
