Power bleeders
So I am looking to get a power bleeder. This one looks good. Any one have any experience with the motive brand? Any other recommendations?

I just used my couisin's mityvac 7201 fluid evacuator plus to do my rear brakes and they work great. He owns his own repair business i i was in the same market as all of you, one day i stoped to see him and ask what kind of bledder hed had. He told me he didn't have one but used this mity vac 7201 FEP for everything, so i tryed it and I am now in the market for one.It not only sucks but you can reveres it and pump the fluid back out of container. I started by sucking to old brake fluid out of brake resavoir and then replaceing it with new fluid and then bleeding brakes, saved a lot of time. You can look at www.mityvac.com for specs.
Good luck!

I always replace the bleeder screws on my vehicles with "speed bleeders".
Not exactly the same thing, but much cheaper.
It's basically just a check valve inside the bleeder screw.
Open the screw and your system is still sealed until you put pressure on it. Just keep an eye on your master cylinder level.
This actually allows you to bleed all 4 lines at once if you dare.

I know, an old thread, but I was looking for information about a clutch MC adapter for the Motive Power bleeder.
Anyway, on the speed bleeders. I tried a set when I lived in VT, I thought they'd be the cat's pajamas, but they turned to a solid lump of rust in short order. Probably not an issue in the south and west where lots of road salt isn't used, but in the north you'll want the stainless ones. The problem is that they aren't cheap and if you have more than one car it's cheaper to get a motive power bleeder thay can be used on multiple cars.
