It's really quite impressive how well it works, and it completely eliminates the need to "burp" the system.
I have the actual Uview Airlift tool, not a knock-off, and can only speak for the results I obtained with this tool. I also have a decent air compressor (Dewalt 1.6hp, 15 gal tank rated for 200 psi, 5.0 CFM @ 90psi)
