• If you do your own vehicle maintenance then Bowmonk's latest electronic brake tester may be of interest. Called Brakecheck, it determines braking efficiency of both the service brake and handbrake by measuring deceleration. It also shows which side of the vehicle has brake problems by indicating left/right pull.
Designed to be self-compen
sating, the instrument will indicate on the LED screen when it is positioned level enough to perform a brake test. Test results can be viewed on the display or downloaded to a PC.
The Brakecheck is MOT approved and can be used to test any type of vehicle. It can be positioned anywhere in the vehicle.
