Very nice but very expensive when one vacuum brake bleeder will do the same job as any number of these...

There have been several versions of this over the years. I can remember fitting similar valve based bleed nipples 20 years ago or more. Bit of tube sealed at the other end with a slit in the tube does the same job. As does a vacuum system, a pressure system and using syrings to push the fluid through.

That's ingenious ! Come to think of it, wouldn't a spray head work as a vacuum pump ? Must try it sometimes. |

It might if you could connect to the bleed nipple. But i don't know how the plastic might fare with brake fluid.
