Has everything you need. However, instuctions do not describe all the fittings in the package. The instructions in the box and online, which disagreed with each other, identified the connections I needed for my Hayes HFX9 brakes. Though, no fitting was required for the caliper contrary to the instructions. The hose went directly on the caliper fitting. The kit has the drain bottle, which was very helpfull, rather than make my own hanger setup. And the quick connect fittings on the hose ends are very helpful while performing the bleed, for connection and disconnection bottles without removing hoses from the bike inserts...
Summed up: Contents are excellent, and I think would likely work for any bleed operation regardless of make. The instuctions need work.
Yes, I would recomend this to a friend.

Works rather well. One issue I had was disconnecting the catch can without flinging DOT4 fluid all over.
If you unscrew the fitting from the lever area, it will leak all over the lever, which is bad.
If you unscrew the quick disconnect from the mid-line ot the bottle, you don't get fluid on your brake lever, but you don't catch the fluid in the bottle either.
This kit is OK... and gets the job done. The catch bottle for some reason allows fluid to either bubble out or come out the top because there are two holes in it. I might have set up the hanger wrong (it was my first time using it). But otherwise it made for a pretty good bleed... and for the price you can get it at here on treefortbikes, you can't really go wrong.
