Brake Bleeder Opinions?
Was wondering if anyone has used the MityVac bleeder system. (I'd like to do the one-man operation without brake pedal pumping) If so, what did you think of it?.....

or the cast metal version.....

I've got the Mity Vac. Works excellent, I use it on my car and motorcycle. Makes bleeding or changing brake and clutch fluid a one man operation.
One tip - It does tend to suck in a bit of air around the bleed nipple's threads. Let it gravity bleed for about 30 seconds after your done sucking to make sure no air is present around the bleed nipple. You can see it in the clear tube, just wait till the tiny bubbles stop.

i put some anti sieze on the bleeder screw threads and it stops the air from sucking through so you know for sure you have the air out.....you have to unscrew them a little further to do it though so carefull you don't make a mess.
