Well, I bought one today.

Not over confident with brakes and such like but I must say, this thing looks foolproof!

Worth it's weight in gold - well worth the £16 odd, I recommend it to anyone, if it does what it says on the tin 

[unlucky alf]

they are good james but dont forget to keep the bottle topped up or your back to square one,,[yes ive done it ]

[TheBoy]

and you paid too much

Halfrauds for you - I guessed at the time, but it was just convenient

Think mine was £8 delivered from the Gay...

Be carefull of how much pressure you use too, it's easy to get fluid all over the place with too many psi's

I knock the spare type down to about 15psi, and use that

had the use of one a while back. Turns the whole thing into a very easy and simple job. Had a few issues getting it to seal on the reservoir but then it was a bit tired.

As I do.
It's very easy though to leave the tyre at higher pressures & think you'll be OK ........

I modified mine to make a coolant pressuriser (using a spare rad cap) so mine's  dual purpose

If you apply your grey matter to it, its also a great way to refill your gearbox after a filter change, if you get a large enough source container - 5 litres dexronIII ?? .....

And given its designed for brake fluid it wont bugger the seals like dex 3 did on my (The Mrs's) garden sprayer.
A 3 in one tool for fair money. :-)

An excellent piece of kit of simple design, and easy to use. 

I still have one, left from the days of tinkering with my Volvo Amazon (131).

Great design ideas will always stand the test of time

[Jimbob]

I've been thinking about using a bike inner tube as the pressure source, to avoid buggering about with a spare wheel, dunno if it would hold enough air to be useful though.

You'll be cursing it if you ever run out of fluid during a bleed though.

Not that anyone'd be stupid enough...
