Default One man brake bleeder recommendation

I did a search in this section and didn't see anything. Looking for the best one man bleeder. I'm thinking a reverse bleeder system like Phoenix, but would love to hear opinions.

Been wondering this myself. People are either too busy or too lazy to pump a pedal.

I love my Vacula I bought off the Snap On man a few years back. My wife loves it too since she no longer has to come out to the pump brakes all the time.

I've had a Mighty Vac for years and have always had acceptable results on bikes and cars, brakes and clutches.

I'd consider this system also: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/mvp-0260/overview/

I use a Mighty Vac as well, it's super handy when flushing fluid as you can see the dirty fluid going into the capture can and can tell when you get to the new clean fluid.

I overfilled my PS pump recently and even used the Mighty Vac to suck the expensive Royal Purple fluid back out and was able to save it back into the original container for later use.

I bought the Motive product one listed in the link but the flat aluminum plate (red) did not fit my Wilwood big bore master cylinder as indicated ..It was about a 1/16 off so it didnt seal very well and made a mess so i just bleed the ole fashion way...

I did use it on a standard master cylinder on a friends Hotrod and it worked fine. Poor fluid in, pump it up and bleed away...

More than welcome to try it if interested..

Believe it or not, I used the one from Harbor Freight

http://www.harborfreight.com/brake-f...der-92924.html

Hook it up to an air compressor, and it pulls the brake fluids through the lines using venturi effect. Did the whole system by myself, although I did get a friend to pump the pedal at the end to make sure there was no air in the system (there was none).
