These work fine, just be sure to firmly apply brakes FIRMLY is key word, friend of mine jumped in his truck that had this device but brakes had not been firmly applied, this let truck move, he was in a hurry and did not notice truck pulling hard until smoke started coming from wheels, he was known thereafter as "brake shoe"
I wonder also that if this device was in place and applied; if like my friend you drove anyhow, would you have brakes or would valve block flow both ways???
I always pumped bakes couple of times then flipped swith, do not know what would be the effect of flipping switch and then pumping brake pedal.
