Brake Bleeders

I am looking to buy a brake bleeder. Thoughts on vacuum vs pressure?

I’ve had the motive for a long time now. I modified the pressure hose to incorporate inline valves/quick connects so I can disconnect the cap to add fluid without losing pressure plus swap between different caps for non euro cars. I only use it for pressure and don’t add any fluid to the motive tank itself for pressure/gravity style bleeding. Works a treat.

I recently bought the motive pressure bleeder and it works wonders. Turns a brake bleed / clutch bleed job into a one man job. highly recommend it.

I've got a pressure bleeder that I bought from Bav Auto. I came with a quick disconnect on the cap to make things easier to connect and the cap supposedly fits most European cars. Makes bleeding/flushing a one man job.

Both work. The issue that I always had with the vacuum type is they draw air in around the threading of the bleeder. Not a system issue but it makes it appear that there's lots of air coming out of the lines. Personally, I like to see an accurate visual of how much air is passing through and the vacuum type won't let you do that. Go pressure. Vacuum type is good for draining the reservoir, but my turkey baster with a ball bearing in it work just fine.
