I don't even know what this thing is for! Besides the point it would cost more than $15 in gas to get to K-Mart/Sears.

It helps in finding vacuum leaks... usually they go for $800+.

Then just buy a pack of cigarettes and blow thru the lines. I make my living with tools and I stay away from cheap junk. Cheap tools don't last.
Again, I say you get what you pay for.

A smoke machine has to have a flow guage to test evap systems correctly, period. A decent smoke machine like the redline is $900.00 and a REAL one like the Motorvac unit is $1700.00 You get what you pay for. O.T.C. is a name brand and they do NOT have a $15.00 smoke machine and anyone who claims they do is just blowing smoke up your ***.
