For those koken sockets, if you don’t have or need them regularly, shove the nut or bolt into a regular socket with a bit of blue shop towel over the socket and the nut/bolt will stay. Not the same I know but it works.
I love my PP draw tool. it’s the best. I highly recommend. hella freakin easy to use and incredibly valuable
16:50 another great thing you can do to get rid of air in the cooling system is to keep the revs high. Faster revs means faster water pump impellers, means a much better chance to sweep out any tiny air pockets that might otherwise survive a 600 rpm idle speed.

I used the PP Draw tool to diagnose major draws on 2 Jeeps very quickly in just an hour
