Ya, they seem to have a 'love'em' or 'hate'em' kind of review history.

I'm not impressed either. I have the official "Speed Bleeder" brand on my PP Brembos and they require a scary amount of torque to close or else they leak. I'm worried about snapping one off.

Once I find a pressure bleeder that fits I'll be going back to the stock bleeder screws.

Just note if you have access to a large compressor I feel those are the better option but those without these work well.

What is the best way to clean the plastic tank and catch bottle after using them.

You clean it with denatured alcohol.

Here's another option that keeps your stock bleeders. This is what I've been using.

Comes with a check valve in the bottle so fluid/air is pushed out but not sucked back in. Makes my fluid changes a one man job and have not had any issues.

Had the same experience with them at work. We tried a set to see if they were feasible to sell to customers as a kit but they made us very uncomfortable with how tight they needed to be. So we became a Motiv distributor and had a custom adaptor made for our application.

Thanks I didn't know about these catch bottles with the check valve! Half the price or less than the Motive pressure bleeder.

The Motive bleeder was on the top of my list but I would find it inconvenient to clean when switching between my wife's DOT3 car and my DOT4 car.

I've had them on my car for a while and like them. No issues with leaking or anything. I do enjoy the versatility of them over carrying around the larger gravity cans; I just get a bit of tubing and a plastic water bottle when I need to bleed them.

Part is SB1010-SS

Simple bottle with a tube going to the bottom from the cap works fine for me, even without a check valve. In practice just about no fluid gets drawn back as you pump pump pump the fluid through. On the pedal upstroke the master cylinder draws from the reservoir.

Not that it would be hard to change but we can confirm that this will fit right up onto our brakes no prob?

Gotta say even pumping brakes by yourself it's easy to bleed brakes. Just might waste a bit more fluid...

My pressure bleeder broke already ;( will not hold pressure. Just gonna use the motive power bleeder bottles. 2 for 21$ on Amazon

Got this "Allstar Performance" branded one from Amazon but it's the same product. Valve works well. One of my favourite tools I own - cheap, simple, compact, and saves me so much time.
