Default One Man Brake Bleeder

Any of you guys use a one man brake bleeder? I've bought cheap ones in the past that flat out didn't work. I'd like to get something that works and works well! I need to change out my brake fluid, stuff looks like Coke.


I had also through about speed bleeders so if anyone has used those I'd be curious how those work out as well.
Thanks in advance!

Dont have speed bleeders but I have MightyVac or MiniVac. Something like that. I've had it at least ten years and it works great for bleeding brakes or clutches. I did just recently replace the tubing but that is to be expected after this long. I made the tubing extra long so it can be hooked to the back brake caliper and I can stand up front and keep the fluid full.

Forgot to mention its a hand pump not a fancy one thats hooked to air.

Do you happen to have the model number? I see so many of them and they are vehicle specific.

Sorry I don't. I'm out of the country right now. I'll see if the wife will go out and look at it tonight.

i've been using the Phoenix Injector Pro Reverse Bleeder System for the past 4 years now. it's super easy to use and has a number of functions that can be applied.a little on the expensive but will last you a lifetime.

I thought about buying Russell Speed Bleeders and some tubing to make it a one man job instead of using pressure/vacuum kits. Then I read the H2's already have one way bleeder screws...can anyone confirm this? I don't want to blow the money on the speed bleeders if we already have them!
