It seems much more logical to me to push the air in the way it wants to go, especially with ABS. Anybody have & use one, opinions, comments? I may ask Santa for one.

It does make more sense to push the air uphill! Looks like it would be a great addition to any gearheads toolbox.

I've heard that the slave cylinders on a hyd. clutch can be very difficult to bleed,so it may be a time saver there.I may be doing a clutch on my Ranger over the winter,216,000 on the factory clutch now.For brakes I've had good success with the Motive power bleeder,good bang for the buck,but not a lot of use on ABS systems.

Some of the negative posts I've read have issues with the old nasty brake fluid being pumped back through the ABS system. The Motive Power Bleeder is another option. More feedback would be appreciated.

I the brief reading I did about the Phoenix it's seems he might have emptied the system before use. I've never had a brake system that I didn't get bled, but I fought with several and did have a pressure bleeder available. I can only recall working on a couple of hyd clutch systems and I believe one of those was a closed system that couldn't be bleed. (my opinion might be worth what it cost ..... nothing)

I made my own pressure bleed system long long ago before the motive system came out and it works well fore me by myself. For hyd. clutches I have a cheep Harbor Freight vacuum bleeder that has worked for me.

I see someone is again trying to reinvent the wheel. :laughing:
Just kidding of course. Brake bleeding sucks. If there was an easy way, I'd try it.

I am very curious how automotive factories do it.
