Key Test and Refill Set Highlights:

1. Comprehensive Adapter Set – Maximum Coverage

One of the standout features of the ARES 15044 kit is its 32-piece adapter set. Unlike many other kits on the market that include only a handful of common adapters, this kit comes fully stocked with 22 adapters, covering nearly every make and model on the road today. From late-model vehicles like Audi, BMW, and Mercedes to more common brands like Honda, Toyota, and Ford, this kit has you covered.

The unique adapters included in this kit are not available in most other kits, making it a true master kit. For example, adapters numbered 21, 22, and 23 extend compatibility to late-model Chevy, Dodge, BMW, Ford, and VW models. Adapters 20 and 24 are essential for servicing many Mercedes, Mitsubishi, Honda, and Kia vehicles. Having these less-common adapters included means you don’t need to purchase additional pieces to tackle specific vehicles.

With 22 adapters, the ARES 15044 kit ensures you won't find yourself hunting for the right fit during a service job, saving you time and hassle.

2. Quick and Easy Pressure Testing

Pressure testing is a crucial part of diagnosing issues with a vehicle's cooling system. The ARES 15044 kit makes it easy and efficient to perform leak tests. Thanks to the built-in pressure pump and nylon hose with gauge, you can quickly test for leaks and ensure the system integrity is sound.

The kit comes with three radiator cap adapters designed for use with standard metal cap radiators, making it easy to check the condition of the radiator cap itself. If the cap doesn't hold pressure or bleeds off too early, it’s time to replace it.

The comprehensive instructions and color-coded blue and black connectors also allow for seamless use with radiator caps, helping you efficiently diagnose and maintain the system.

3. Hassle-Free Vacuum Refills

Refilling a cooling system can often be messy and time-consuming. The vacuum refill apparatus in the ARES 15044 kit simplifies the process by allowing you to connect directly to your shop air supply. This vacuum filling system creates a vacuum in the cooling system, which ensures that the coolant is pulled into the system efficiently and air is purged out.

This eliminates the need for air bleeding and minimizes the chance of airlocks, which can cause overheating and damage. Simply set up the refill device, draw the vacuum, and let the system automatically fill. The kit's thermometer and pressure release valve add an extra layer of safety, allowing you to monitor and control the process easily.

4. 90-Degree Connector – Ideal for Tight Spaces

The 90-degree pressure pump connector included in the kit is a game-changer for working in tight spaces. For vehicles with tanks deep within the engine compartment, this connector ensures that you can reach the fill point without straining or struggling to get the tool into place. It’s just one more feature that adds to the overall convenience and versatility of this kit.

5. Durability and Long-Lasting Performance

When you’re working with tools every day, durability is essential. The ARES 15044 kit is built to last, with high-quality materials like 66 nylon used for the adapters and components. This ensures a proper seal every time, providing confidence when performing cooling system service.

The durable storage case keeps everything neatly organized and protected, so you can easily grab what you need and keep your kit in top condition for years of service.

6. Broad Vehicle Compatibility

This kit is compatible with a wide range of vehicles, including popular makes like Audi, BMW, Ford, Honda, Mercedes, Toyota, and many others. Whether you’re working on a passenger vehicle, SUV, or light truck, the ARES 15044 kit has the coverage you need. See our product manual with detailed vehicle compatibility, so you can quickly determine which adapters are suitable for each job.

7. The All-In-One Cooling System Solution

With everything you need to perform cooling system leak tests, pressure tests, and coolant refills, the ARES 15044 kit is a true all-in-one solution. Instead of juggling multiple tools and kits, you get all the essential equipment in one comprehensive package. And, with the clear instruction manual and organized case, you can spend less time searching for parts and more time working on the car.
