Default Clutch bleed tool? HELP!

I have a 1995 Discovery 1. Has anyone had success with a commercially available tool for bleeding the clutch? Please let me know! I'm looking at doing a reverse bleed.

How long does it usually take you? That's a reverse bleed right? I'm glad backwards and forwards with pressure and with vacuum. The closest I've gotten to getting it bled good pressure on the panel was with Vacuum but there are still tons and tons of bubbles.

I looked at it and I'm willing to try it; what about the clutch master cylinder cap? Does it come with one that fits or do you have to rig it up yourself? Which one would I have to buy? Thanks a bunch, I need to get this car on the road...

It's a pressure bleeder.
This is the one I have. The adapter fits both of the master cylinders.
Black Label European Brake Bleeder



You'll want to pick up a gallon of denatured alcohol for cleaning it when you're done.
