Brake Bleeding

[DougF]

I found a Brake Bleeder Automatic Refiller KD #3711 at our local Parts-a-Rama last weekend. Never saw one before.
It has a bottle with a mounting base w/ retaining clip, shut off valve, and fluid level adjustment.
As you bleed the brakes, it automatically refills the reservoir. Less fear of running it dry.
I tried it with a glass of water and it worked great.
Has anyone seen these and what is the verdict?

Doug, there are a bunch of gizmos out there for bleeding brakes. IMHO, the old 2-person-one-pumping-one-bleeding works best. That is my wife's annual contribution to my car.

I agree. But, the thing I dislike most about bleeding the clutch hydraulics is having to crawl out from underneath the car every 2-3 tries to refill the reservoir. This could eliminate a lot of exercise and maybe make those tiny bubbles go away more efficiently.
Hopefully, it will be a looong time before I have to use it.
