An ARES Classic With a Sleek New Look: An Overview of the ARES 1021001 Master Cylinder Adapter Kit

If you're a longtime ARES fan, you've probably seen our brake bleeders and master cylinder adapter accessory kits that help mechanics, both in the shop and at home, keep their vehicles' brake systems in peak condition. These time-tested and customer-approved tools, like our ARES 70921 2L Manual Brake Bleeder, are some of our must-haves for the shop.

Just because they're fan-favorites, though, doesn't mean we'll leave them collecting dust on the shelf. We've just launched a new version of our Master Cylinder Adapter Kit for 2L and 4L Bleeders, which you may have seen formerly as ARES 18007, with a brand-new show-stopping look and all the top-notch performance you expect from an ARES brake tool kit. Let's dive in and take a peek at the ARES 1021001 Master Cylinder Adapter Kit, with an overview of its fresh coat of paint and the countless car, trucks, and more you'll be able to service with just one kit.

New Look, Same Great Brakes

It's hard to improve upon perfection, but that didn't stop us from doing it anyway. While the ARES 18007 kit came in our signature ARES red, the new 1021001 comes with a sleek and stylish black case; no matter how many colors cover your toolbox, we made sure it would go with just about anything. This change wasn't just about looks, though; when we took this kit back to the drawing board, we redesigned and repacked each adapter into a new case design that's slimmer and smaller than our 18007 design, ensuring it fits in more truck beds and tool chests to make it easier than ever to get the job done with room to spare for the rest of your collection.

 
Of course, we know that looks aren't everything. Let's take a closer look at the facts and features of this set, with a walkthrough demo from Rod the Tool Guy to give you a glimpse of your new toolbox favorite in action.


Under the Hood with ARES 1021001:

This 12-piece adapter set is made specifically for use with our ARES pressure bleeder line, including ARES 70921, ARES 18051, and ARES 18053. The included adapters feature quick-connect fittings that are exclusive to these ARES models, ensuring a secure, leak-free connection every time; just make sure you're matching an ARES adapter to an ARES brake bleeder.

With twelve adapters, this kit is ready for anything -- it's compatible with approximately 90% of current master cylinder reservoirs found on disc and drum brake systems. This broad coverage makes it the best solution for general repair shops, mobile techs, or anyone servicing multiple makes and models regularly, but it's also great for multi-car households.

The variety here offers brake bleeding solutions for master cylinders of all shapes and sizes, from threaded screwnecks to bayonet-style and push-on adapters, with two universal-style adapters to expand function further. We've even included a rectangular adapter for cast iron and plastic rectangular reservoirs, so you'll have the answer for just about anything that rolls into the garage.

When it comes to choosing the right adapter, it's as simple as taking a few quick reference measurements. Just measure the interior and exterior diameters of the master cylinder neck, note the style of connection, and refer to the adapters to match specs. Plus, if you ever have trouble finding the right fit, you can always reach out to our customer service team, who will be happy to help you find just the piece you need.

When the job is done, the custom blow-molded case makes storage simple, with precisely-milled slots for each adapter that keep them secured, ensuring all your accessories are exactly where you want them. The convenient carrying handle makes it easier than ever to take this kit from one garage bay to the next, or just from the driveway back into the garage, and the new smaller factor case fits neatly in trunks, truck beds, and more, so you can stash this superstar set wherever you need it to stay ready for the next job. 

Final Thoughts

It's easy to see why the ARES brake bleeding line is a crowdpleaser; with options for most any vehicle you'll come across as a consumer or even as a professional working on popular makes and models, we've got you covered. The new ARES 1021001 kit is simply a testament to our mission here at ARES Tool: always delivering top-notch performance, but never settling when we could make a great tool even better.
