Yes, this tool is an adapter designed to integrate with SRAM or Avid Pro Bleed Kits. You will still need the syringes, fluid, and other components included in those kits to complete the full maintenance process.

If you are comfortable with basic bike maintenance, this tool makes the process much cleaner and more straightforward than older methods. While hydraulic bleeding requires patience and attention to detail, the Bleeding Edge design significantly reduces the chance of spills and air contamination.
