I don't know about this. I just tried one and I can't see how it could be drawing all the air out of the lines.

Does anyone have experience with this product?

I don't have any experience with it, but the principle is basically the same as all of them : move the fluid through the system and it will carry the air bubbles along with it.

Of course it also carries the same shortcoming as all of the vacuum bleeders IMO; you'll always get some air bubbles because it sucks air past the threads of the bleed screw.
 
My personal favorite is "Speed Bleeders" They have made a convert of me and I have them on the TR7 and the J-H. I have some experience with the vacuum type and have needed to use teflon tape to prevent the air sucking problem, but that didn't always work. The Speed Bleeders are coated with a durable sealant that takes care of that.
 
I have a Motive https://www.motiveproducts.com/ pressure bleeder. Instead of vacuum, it uses low pressure to push fluid from the M/C reservoir (vs pumping the pedal) and then bleed as normal. You can use Speed bleeders too if you want. My wife loves it cuz' she no longer has to sit and pump the pedals.

You can buy their adapters or DIY with old M/C caps.

PeterK,
Did you get the Classic British Bleeder 0110?
Thanks!
 
Eezi-Bleed here, used it for years in a 'production environment'. Low pressure 'pusher' from the M/C.
 
Does anyone else think it's odd that the picture shows someone bleeding brakes on a motorcycle?--where the brake lever is within easy reach?

Pete: So you use this on your 3A and 4A? Do you know if they have an adapter to fit the large cap on the TR250/6?

Thanks
