Work smarter not harder!

Or just follow the instructions...

The plastic quick disconnect fittings replace the brass interconnect fittings. With the plastic quick disconnect, it leaves the system pressurized when disconnected.

Lots of people do it this way because they don't want to have to clean out the motive after. There's nothing incorrect about doing it that way.

I fill it with fluid since cleaning it with some denatured alcohol after use isn't a big deal.

3 and a half seconds of seaching shows im far from the only person that prefers to use this method.

Taking a cap off a few times on a flush, or cleaning a bottle.

Either is "work." Personally i find the hassle to be minimal for the benefits involved i.e. My tool staying squeaky clean, you clearly would rather continue to complain about how i like to do things. Rather than accepting that many owners prefer pumping their jug in a way different than you.

Would you like to critique the efficiency of how i wipe my ass as well? I'll provide detailed videos, including slomo upon request.

You seem to be taking this a bit too seriously. I've stated countless times, if whatever tool you use makes your life easier...then it's worth it.

Both the PowerBleeder and SpeedBleeders make it easier to flush, but I prefer SpeedBleeders. No big deal.

I honestly don't mean to make it personal with you. My apologies if I pissed you off. No hard feelings on my end.

Haha - I prefer no vid, but others may be curious.
