Anyone heard of this?

Apparently ideal for bleeding hydraulic handbrakes properly.

Nice as you can hold vacuum at a set level.
But I've got an old fridge compressor which I use for vacuum and it's turned out much more handy than first thought.
Also helpful for bleeding fuel systems as well as easy brake bleeding without the on/off pedal thing.

Standard piece of kit in most garages (although slightly better tan that one)

Have a similar one, never really got along with it. Its really difficult to get the bleed nipple threads vacuum tight.

Yeah not bad design if you can get a decent seal.

Handy too for other things, vaccuum testing etc

For sealing my nipples I find silicone hose and a cable tie works well. [Image: lethercap.gif]
