Which mity-vac/vacs do I need?
 

I will be buying one of the vacuum systems for the purpose of oil changes soon. I have no garage, my driveway is made up of sharp rocks, I don't really fit under the car and lack the appropriate jacks, and pumping it out just seems easier anyway.

I have been looking at the mity-vac 7201; it looks pretty good and has received good reviews from what I've read.

I also need a Mity-vac for the purposes of testing my vacuum system. This is a pretty noob question, but I wouldn't be able to use the 7201 for that, would I? I'm assuming I would need to buy a different mity-vac unit.

Also, does anyone have experience changing the oil with a 7201 when the oil is hot? I read somewhere that the hose can take this but I would like some confirmation.

Thanks

I bought the Mity-Vac I use from Harbor Freight, I haven't had any problems with it and it has saved me far more money that I payed for it.
Harbor Freight Mity-Vac-It's cheap right now. I think I payed the 59.99 for it.

I would recommend you use the Craftsman brass vacuum pump. The parts are replaceable and will last a life time. I dont like the might might vacuum pumps. They are way too fragile.

Well I have now purchased a craftsman hand vacuum pump, #21021 (I think).

I think I will order the Mity-vac (07201) for the oil changes.
