7075.it Air Killer Buggy vacuum pump

7075.it’s Air Killer shock and differential vacuum pump is now also available in a taller version for the use with longer buggy shock absorbers. The tool helps to remove unwanted air bubbles in shock absorbers and gear differentials and it even comes in handy for the current trend of leaving a small amount of air in off-road shock absorbers as it allow for better control and an equal amount in all two or four shocks.
