WTB good brake bleeder kit

So I've been bleeding my brakes the cheap and slow way by just using an empty water bottle and having my friend pump the brakes. I've decided its time to invest in something that I can use my self. Does anyone have a good power bleeder they recomend or have used before? I'd like something that I can use by myself fairly easily.

Thanks I've seen those before but forgot about them. Have you used them before, is there any chance they leak? Now that I've been tracking quite a bit I change the fluid a lot more often and don't want to risk something leaking. I'm still considering something that I can pressurize the system with to make sure it is 100% air free. Maybe something I can use along with the speedbleeders.

I use them. They don't leak. Something to bleed using pressure is going to be a lot more expensive.

Yeah I realize they cost more and I'm willing to spend some money for one. Nothing too crazy though. I plan on doing a lot more tracking next season so I want something that works well and will last.

I'll probably go ahead and order some speedbleeders for now and see how well they work, then come spring time maybe start looking into a pressure bleeder.

I use a Motive Power Bleeder. You just have to make sure that you get the right cap for the Infiniti. I have one and I can use it on two of my cars with the same cap, but haven't tried it on the Infiniti yet.

Do you have a link to the one you use or where you bought it from?

Here is the website:
StoreFront -- Motive Products Online Store

You can probably get it cheaper by searching around on the net. Even Amazon.com has them. They are pretty well known and if you plan on using it a lot, spend a couple extra bucks and get the black version since it has more metal parts.

It's the same as far as i can tell. I've used mine on both the G and the other two Nissan's in the pack.

I really like this bleeder, makes bleeding so much easier. You do end up using more fluid than necessary.

Thanks. I just called them and asked and that was the same number they told me so that should be right.

The Motive bleeder works really well when there is a specific fitting master cylinder cap available. The Ford cap 0107 works well. I'm not a fan of their universal cap. It tends to leak.
