Innertubes are too much trouble!

Hey folks,
I've seen Saabnet postings about making things out of innertubes to bleed brakes and such, and thought there had to be a more elegant way. Well, there is. I also peruse BMW groups often, and one of the guys there (Jim Powell) built a brake bleeder himself out of a garden sprayer. http://www.apexcone.com/Bleeder/bleeder.html
Following his directions, I built my own bleeder (I had to get the spare brake fluid reservoir cap from Doreen at Andrews Saab (http://www.saabsuperstore.com)). Let me tell you, it works great, and was only about $20 to build.
Don't want to mess with constructing a cool reusable brake bleeder? Motive Products has taken the work out of it for you. Check it out:

I can personally attest that this thing worked great at bleeding my whole brake system as well as the clutch. Pour a liter of ATE Super Blue in the bleeder/sprayer tank, screw on the pump thingie, screw the cap with hose attached to the brake fluid reservoir, pump it up to about 20psi, and start bleeding. No refills necessary.
Email with any questions!
