Plan pressure checks, containment, filling and any specific flushing operation.
Separate diagnosis from replacing coolant. For pressure checks, choose between a suitable adapter-based tester and a verified universal-fit connection. For refilling, decide whether the vehicle procedure calls for a funnel-based bleeding arrangement or supports a vacuum-assisted refill tool. MV4533 requires shop air; the MV4560 pressure tester uses a hand pump. The updated 24980 funnel kit adds a specific Toyota/Lexus V35A connection but still needs an exact fit check. A backflush tool is only relevant when that separate service operation is appropriate. Add inspection lighting and adequate collection containers, and keep incompatible transmission-fill equipment out of the cooling-system plan.
Follow cool-system temperature and pressure requirements and capture coolant appropriately. Do not treat an 8.8-litre extractor or shallow drip pan as automatic proof of adequate drain capacity. Confirm fluid compatibility and adapter sealing. Vacuum refill and vacuum-hold observations do not establish that every cooling-system fault has been diagnosed.
Keep dirty-fluid capture separate from clean dispensing.

17922 multi-drain tub
A broad drain tub for collecting used fluids during suitable oil, transmission, differential or radiator service. Check its footprint and height against the space below the vehicle before ordering.
Check under-vehicle clearance and expected fluid volume/temperature. Used-fluid capture and clean filling require separate containers.
19752 six-quart oil dispenser, red spout
A dispensing container for transferring the correct service fluid into a suitable fill point. Keeping clean filling equipment separate from used-fluid collection helps avoid contamination.
Keep the dispenser clean and dedicated to compatible fluids. The selected 19752 has a red flexible spout; it is not a used-fluid drain container.
Fluid Evacuator Plus manual extractor and dispenser
A manual extractor and dispenser for compatible fluids and service procedures. It offers a different collection method from a drain tub where the engine or system permits extraction through an appropriate tube.
Confirm the fluid, temperature limits and access method in the instructions. Do not assume extraction removes all fluid or replaces a required drain-plug or filter-service procedure.
Pneumatic fluid evacuator
The MV7300 is an 8.8-litre pneumatic extractor for compatible fluids, with tubes for access through suitable dipstick openings. It suits repeat servicing where compressed air is available; confirm that extraction is permitted for the vehicle and that the fluid and temperature are within the instructions.
Air supply tube access and fluid restrictions
Catch-All drip pan
An eight-US-quart polyethylene catch pan for passive drip containment. Its 24-by-36-inch footprint and 1.5-inch height suit a broad, shallow collection area; it is not a sealed waste-fluid carrier.
Check the available floor area, expected fluid volume, and fluid/temperature compatibility before use.
Pressure diagnosis, vacuum refill and backflushing are separate equipment choices.

Nineteen-piece Spill-Free funnel kit
The 24980 is Lisle's 19-piece coolant-filling funnel kit, including the newer Toyota/Lexus V35A threaded adapter. Its extensions and elbows help reach angled filler openings, while the selected adapter and the vehicle's bleeding procedure remain essential.
Newer kit; distinguish older 24680 and heavy-duty 24990
Cooling-system pressure test kit
The MV4560 uses a hand pump and interchangeable adapters for cooling-system and cap pressure checks. It offers a different job function from a vacuum refill kit; its older application chart needs checking against the actual filler neck or reservoir.
Older application chart requires current vehicle fit confirmation
AirEvac cooling-system refill kit
The MV4533 uses compressed air to evacuate an empty cooling system and draw in replacement coolant. It is an air-assisted refill option for a workshop, while a separate pressure-test method may still be needed to investigate a fault.
Shop-air requirement sealing and adapter fit
Cooling-system pressure tester
The 7991 is a cooling-system pressure tester using a universal-fit connection in place of a large adapter collection. OTC explicitly excludes Saturn, Kia and Jeep plastic-reservoir applications, so its universal description should not be read as universal fitment.
Exact included adapters current service status and vehicle limits
Heater-core backflush tool
The 60900 connects a garden hose to compatible 1/2-, 5/8- and 3/4-inch heater hoses for controlled backflushing. It is intended for an isolated service operation rather than unrestricted full-system pressure, with coolant capture and the heater-core procedure determining safe use.

66118 Stylus Pro penlight, black
A slim penlight for looking into confined engine-bay, cabin and under-vehicle spaces. Its pocket size makes it a useful companion to a larger work light rather than the only lighting in the bay.
A compact black AAA penlight for close inspection. The stated output and runtime are manufacturer figures, rather than our own measurements.
2125-20 M12 underhood light, bare tool
A cordless underhood light for illuminating the engine bay during inspection and service. Check the mounting arrangement, vehicle opening and battery requirements before buying the bare tool.
The -20 offer is the bare underhood light. Budget for a compatible M12 battery and charger, and check that the hooks fit the vehicle.
HT-2 telescoping magnetic pickup tool
A telescoping magnetic pickup tool for retrieving suitable ferrous items from awkward spaces. It is a useful small addition for dropped fasteners that remain visible or can be located safely.
Check that the selected model is HT-2. Its magnetic pickup claim depends on the object and contact conditions and is not a rating for lifting equipment.
HTC-2 telescoping inspection mirror, black
A telescoping inspection mirror for viewing behind components and around obstructions. Pair it with a light when a direct line of sight is blocked.
The 2.25-inch round mirror and adjustable head suit inspection behind components. Check collapsed size before choosing it for a small pocket or pouch.
Yellow Dualie 3AA with alkaline batteries
The yellow 68750 Dualie 3AA package combines separate spot and flood beams with three alkaline batteries. Its hazardous-location certification is conditional on the stated configuration and instructions; it should not be substituted with a magnetic-clip or different battery variant without checking that approval.
Yellow battery-included package; hazardous-location conditions are specific
12V Max connected inspection camera
The GIC5-27C kit combines a 5-inch display with an 11.5-foot camera cable, recording storage and a 12V battery and charger. It is useful for documenting accessible inspection spaces, but its 8.3 mm head must fit the opening and the cable's IP67 rating does not apply to the entire tool.

Dominator clear-lens safety glasses
Clear-lens safety glasses for suitable indoor workshop tasks. They are the DPG94-1D industrial variant; the exact lens and model should be checked when ordering.
Clear lenses preserve visibility indoors. Match eye protection to the task; safety glasses alone do not cover every grinding, chemical-splash or face-protection requirement.
X4A PELTOR over-head hearing protectors
Headband earmuffs for a workshop hearing-protection kit. Selection depends on noise exposure, fit and compatibility with other protective equipment.
Fit and exposure matter as much as the labelled NRR. These are the X4A headband earmuffs, not a hard-hat attachment.
70472 rubber wheel chocks, two-pack
Rubber wheel chocks for helping restrain an appropriately parked vehicle during suitable workshop work. Match their size and use to the tyre, surface and equipment procedure.
Check the manufacturer’s instructions against the vehicle, surface and intended use. Wheel chocks complement suitable lifting and support equipment; they do not replace jack stands.
Rechargeable multipurpose extinguisher
The PRO5 is a rechargeable dry-chemical extinguisher with a 3-A:40-B:C classification, identified by First Alert as FE3A40GR/SKU 1039896. Suitability depends on the workshop's assessed hazards, placement and servicing requirements; the product cannot substitute for an escape plan or trained use.
