This ebay guy is making a killing selling them at $32 each.

I have heard a lot of pros and enthusiasts rave about this product. Have never heard a negative. I just got to use them and they are indeed all they are cracked up to be. Profoundly easy to use and no fear to fractureing the precious resivoir. I have made inital contact with the maker about repping the product line. 5 bleeders would do the trick for 4 brakes slaves/calipers and the clutch slave. $7 each or %15 in stainless. What do you guys think?



Made in the USA by USAians...about 70 miles down the road in a corn field....well, in a building surrounded by corn fields...

Been selling these for a number of years and they indeed do work. I do not recommend them on the clutch slave, never had much success there. If you would like more information send me a PM. For that price include the proper bag and hose.

I have used them on motorcycles for years and they are great. Also a great way to drain and replenish your fluid yearly. Count me in for a set since I am anticipating some brake work soon.

That price is for a kit of four with bag and hose.

Ed, do you sell them now:S

Yes! Just sent a set out to your neck of the woods. For some reason the clutch will not pump up so to avoid frustration I do not recommend it.

Sorry Ed, not trying to compete.
I was honestly reluctant until I had so many positives about the product. I engage in many forums and when it cuts thru to an honest, and good product I inquire. Thanks for the post!

No offense taken, I look at it as a service. Be careful with those new ideas you may find yourself backing Singh Grooves. B-)

4 in stainless sounds good to me. I'll buy them.

I usually back bleed the clutch systems. Tried the Twist way a couple of times but you need another person to pump the system, it works well.

I used a EasiBleed on my Riley's Clutch and brakes and that worked pretty well. It's a bit cumbersome, but beats needing two people. Now I just need to remember to re-inflate my spare!

I have not had any luck using a MityVac.

PS: Ed - you get those pulleys in?

Tom, these guys are killing me. No! I have not received my pulleys yet. You'll be second to know.B-)

By the way the last time I did my clutch I used the two person method.
