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.
Our experience is that the syringes with this product don't last forever with the interaction with suspension fluid and we would advise you to clean it out thoroughly after use. The syringe can be exchanged for a vacuum brake bleeding tool. The syringes on the professional version last much longer, so if you are stripping a lot of forks it is a better buy.

I am very pleased with the crimping tool as it is ideal for my diy requirements.
There are many more expensive types on the market but this fits my budget and works well, with good results.
I would recommend this tool as it works perfectly well and at a reasonable price.
Thanks to bikers tool box fot the fast service.
I am very pleased with the compact wire strippers as they are nice and lightweight.
You can adjust a slider in the jaws so that all of your wires can be stripped to exactly they same length.
I would recommend this tool as it seems good value for money and hopefully will last a while.
Thank you to bikers tool box for the rapid service.
Really quick delivery and a great addition when rebuilding bluespots.
Quality item, so much better than generic kit you can get on line. Repeat customer, says it all.
Fantastic done the job thank you
I hate changing tyres, but this stuff made the job much easier.
I broke the bead on the old tyre then applied the paste with a paint brush. Ten year old Bridgestone slid off easily and the new Heidenau, with very stiff sidewalls, was fitted much more easily than when I’d tried with washing-up liquid.
