And after watching my neighbor use one of these, I ordered one too.  Should make bleeding a breeze. Plus, I can use it on other cars now or down the road. I also like the fact that I wont be such a bum about maintenance I should be doing. My brake fluid is NASTY, so I should be able to push plenty of new fluid through with minimal fuss.

After watching one in use I decided their aint no way Im pedal pumping. Just attach this thing to the resevoir, pressurize, going around and turn each bleeder, done. So simple, a caveman could do it *watches out for surviving cave men*

how do you keep from making a big mess when you are done?
i figure you de-pressurize it but what about the fact that the reservior if now full to the top.

You tip the tank over so that no fluid is near the pickup and open the bleeder closest to the MC. One the level in the MC gets down to the max line, close bleeder. Depressurize and detach.

I've got one, and it just ends up being a big hassle to use it. I still prefer a manual approach. I only use the pressure bleeder when I can't find someone to apply the pedal.

I got a check valve thingy now so I don't even need another person.
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.
