Anyone here use power bleeders? Are they much easier than traditional bleeding and worth the cost? If so, which is the best or best bang for the buck?

Many ways to skin a cat. I have used a pressure bleeder at the past (FSAE), did not like it. There are also vacuum bleeders. A guy I know uses a very long transparent vacuum hose, attaches one end to the caliper bleeder and the other at a vacuum port on the intake, turns the car on and loosens the bleeder, engine vacuum pulls out fluid and air bubbles, done. Extra long vacuum hose required as a brake fluid trap, brake fluid in your engine does not sound like a great idea. I prefer doing it the old-fashioned way though.
I built a pressure bleeder, but still don't have the cap top actually use it. Just went with the old school 2 man pedal dance
That is brilliant.Quote:

I prefer a two-person system. One in the car, one on the bleeder valve. The person in car is usually my wife.
Two person here as well.
Yep, KFG is correct, but if I were doing > two brake systems a day/week, I would defiantly have to get an auto system.
