I have been looking for a good way to bleed the brakes alone and found this Motive Products Brake Bleeder setup.

Just curious if anyone has used this setup and how well it worked. I'm actually looking at the model with the aluminum fittings rather than plastic but this should give you guys the idea.

 

I got the 4.99 bleeder kit from autozone

has a magnet and a bottle that connects to the bleeder

go in car, pump brakes to move fluid


it worked great, so 50 bucks for a brake bleeder might be more than someone who won't do it very often needs

 

Ditto, I've always had good luck with the cheap advance auto kit. I'm sure that one works good too, not sure if it works 10x better though.

 

Here's my thinking on the matter.

1. I've never had any luck with the cheapo kits. Probably operator error (throw that out before sloppyjoe does) but I don't like to take chances with the brakes.

2. I've spent a lot of money on the rest of my tools, why skimp on a brake bleeder setup.

3. I know that it will get used enough to justify the cost. I have 2 vehicles of my own and seem to get roped into working on others vehicle because I have the tools. I haven't priced having a mechanic bleed and/or flush the brake system but I do know my mechanic charges a minimum of a half hour shop time or $46.25 every time I bring the truck in. At that rate I figure I could off set the cost really quick.

I appreciate the input guys, even if it does seem like I'm arguing with you. I really do.

 

I get what you are saying

If I had the cash, I would be doing the same thing
