Power Bleeder - Looking for recommendations Options

[RiqueMar]

Hi Everyone

Looking for recommendations on brake bleeders / power bleeders. What have you got, where did you get it, and do you like it? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif)

I just received my motive, $58 shipped, bought directly from Motive. Be sure to buy the European version, SKU is MP-0100. I can confirm the enclosed cap fits my Porsche fluid reservoir.
I'll be using it this week and will report back on its functionality!

I got to bleed the brakes today using the Motive Power bleeder, Frankly, I'm impressed!. I used it on my 912E as I'd replaced the master cylinder, the 914 has a similar. However, I didn't use it per the instructions, using it dry. i topped up the reservoir with fresh DOT3, pressurized the bleeder with the intention only to push out the old fluid. It worked so well, I just topped up the reservoir before bleeding each corner, I pumped the empty power bleeder like crazy to get 5-10psi and opened each bleeder in turn, topping up the reservoir between corners.

The result, a good hard pedal with no pumping, completed alone! I'm sold on this thing. Just a word of warning. my 912E has a reservoir overflow, piped to under the front bumper, I couldn't figure out why brake fluid was dripping under the front apron until I realized I needed to clamp the 6mm flex line. Duh. My 914's brake fluid reservoir doesn't have this overflow connection.
