How well does the Power Bleeder and Speed bleeders work?

[BenI]

I'm looking to eliminate the need for a helper when bleeding my brake system. I found the Power bleeder and Speed Bleeders on Pelican's site and wonder what your experience has been with them.

From pelican:
"Power Bleeder

This is a pressure bleeder from Motive Products . This brand new product is a step above its now-defunct precursor, the EZ-Bleed system. The system has a hand pump that you can use to pressurize the brake fluid system for an easy one person operation. A small gauge on the front of the brake fluid reservoir indicates pressure. The very large reservoir can hold about two quarts of brake fluid - more than enough for most brake flushing and bleeding jobs. The bleeder is a very useful and cost-effective tool to have in your collection. A pressure bleeder is much better than a vaccuum-style bleeder because it will not cause bubbles to form in your brake lines. All bleeders come with a full 1 year warrantee."

The power bleeder works great! Don't forget to carefully remove the overflow hose on the brake master cylinder reservoir and plug it with an 1/8" punch.

Works like a charm.

John,

Could you provide a little more detail on the overflow line/plug? I've just received my power bleeder and have yet to use it. I'm pretty new to the 914 arena and have not dealt with the master cyl. resouvier yet and don't notice any lines routed from this area.
