What Is Motive Products?

Updated

Motive Products is a brake-bleeding tool brand best known for one-man power bleeder kits: pressurized tanks that push fresh brake fluid through the system so one person can bleed brakes without a helper pumping the pedal. It also sells adapters, stainless steel bleeder screws, catch bottles, replacement parts, and lubricants. The brand serves home mechanics, enthusiasts, racers, and professional shops, and it is now part of AGS Company, an aftermarket supplier of hydraulic brake lines and fittings.

What Motive Products Sells

Product category What it is for

Adapters Fit the bleeder tank to different master cylinder reservoir shapes

Catch bottles Collect and dispose of old brake fluid safely
Power Fill & Power Extractor Fluid filling and extraction tools
Replacement parts, accessories, lubricants Keep an existing bleeder kit working

The core product is the Power Brake Bleeder. Instead of a second person working the pedal, the tank holds fluid under pressure and feeds it through the master cylinder, pushing old fluid and trapped air out at each caliper.

Who It Is For

  • DIY mechanics bleeding brakes alone in a home garage.
  • Enthusiasts and racers who flush fluid regularly, such as before track days.
  • Professional shops that want a repeatable, fast bleed without a helper.

If you only bleed brakes once on a single vehicle, a helper-and-pedal method costs nothing. A power bleeder makes more sense when you bleed often, work alone, or want consistent pressure.

Finding the Right Kit for Your Vehicle

The site has a Year, Make, and Model search to match a one-man power bleeder to your car, truck, motorcycle, or boat trailer. Start there, because the correct master cylinder adapter matters as much as the tank itself.

Choosing a Bleeder Screw

Bleeder screws sit at the highest point of each caliper or wheel cylinder. Opening one lets air and old fluid escape; tightening it seals the hydraulic system again. Replace them when they are rounded off, seized, corroded, or weeping fluid at the threads.

To find your thread size:

  1. Check the caliper or wheel-cylinder specification in your vehicle's service manual, or
  2. Measure the old screw's thread diameter and pitch with a thread gauge and compare it to the size listed on each product page.

When in doubt, remove the old screw and compare before ordering. Stainless steel is worth considering because many factory screws are plated steel, which corrodes and seizes over time; stainless resists rust so it opens cleanly at the next fluid flush.

Support Before You Buy

The site publishes instructions, videos, an FAQ, and adapter pictures, which helps confirm fitment before ordering. If you are planning a full fluid flush and replacing screws at the same time, the site's Application Guide is the place to match a Power Bleeder adapter to your vehicle.

Bottom Line

Motive Products is relevant if you want to bleed brakes by yourself with a pressurized tank rather than a pedal-pumping helper. Confirm two things before buying: the adapter that fits your master cylinder (use the Year, Make, and Model search) and, if you are replacing them, the correct bleeder screw thread size.
