Autodrain Shocker tool

Autodrain Shocker

Shocker is a stand alone compressed air operated combination suction and gravity system with a 90ltr storage capacity. A hydraulic tool punctures the shock absorbers allowing the majority of fluid to be sucked through the piercing tip, residual fluid is then extracted through the punctured hole with a suction probe. The tool incorporates a seal to minimise fluid leakage during the puncturing/suction process. A budget version is also avaialble.
