sonofabeotch. that is slick! takes care of forgeting to pinch the vent hose too! i love it!

The power bleeder has got to be one of, if the not the best tool in my garage. I actually bleed the brakes in all my vehicles every two years (except the kart that gets bleed for every event). My wife's a lot happer now too.

"My wife's a lot happer now too."

125shifter,
Is that one of those double entendres? Not sure I get the connection otherwise. Oh well.

I should weigh in here on gravity bleeding, but I'll wait for a more opportune time.

In response to the question about mixing a low-spec DOT 3 with the ATE, try not to as it will compromise the high heat specs. But it also depends on the type of driving conditions you're going to encounter.

Opps, I meant the wife's "happier". I thought I'd leave the reason open for interpretation, just to keep things interesting.

As a long time two-person bleeder(or gravity in desperation), I purchase the Motive to bleed my clutch yesterday.......Oh my God! Could it be any easier? The one of the best $45 I've spent on a tool in recent memory. Actually makes it fun(no more exasperation with my wife, "is the brake pedal down.....(her: no I let it up...) @#****ing bleeder screw was open! OK try again........ Did the brakes and clutch in 15 minutes with ATE blue. Wow...

yup, what he said. you almost dont even need eye protection. although i wear it always. nothing fun about rolling around in the front yard, screaming. scares the neighbors. i think that is the part about making the wife/girlfriend happy. guys freak out on female double talk:

"is the pedal pushed in all the way"
"YES........the pedal is up, all the way!"

"arrrghhhhh!"
