Default vaccuum brake bleeders?

http://www.nationaltoolwarehouse.com/xq/asp/prodid.15957/TID.{F62E6765-B394-4BE3-BB41-BE6B9A6F6157}/qx/product.htm

Does these things work? it says that it bleeds 2 qts per minute, that seems like good suction, no?

I got a pressure bleeder to do mine. I haven't used a vacuum one before, but the pressure deal worked great. The one I got is a Motive products power bleeder.

Wholly crap! The pressure bleeder I bought didn't cost that much...I was thinking I was gona see like a good old mighty vac that you can pick up anywhere for like $30. I guess for that price it better get all the air out.
Good luck getting you brakes working properly.

I havent used the one you posted, but have used both of these and yes they work..as long as you keep fluid in the resevoir and the seal tight..both of these actually pressurize the resevoir and then use vacuum to suck out the fluid at the bleeder. But the hand held mighty-vacs will usually work so I see no reason the one you posted wouldnt.

I was gonna buy the first one that you posted, the sears link, but I realized that I don't need the capacity to bleed 3 cars worth of fluid. I hope the one I bought works just as well.
