Am considering getting a power bleeder and had decided on the Motive #0109 when I came across the Schwaben model with pump, not the compact model.

The Schwaben is bigger at 3l but not sure that is a bonus.

Price is about the same.


Which do you use or recommend and any negatives to either?

I've been very happy with speed bleeders ....I flush the fluid on my track car every six months...so plenty of experience.

I bought the 0100 model, and it did a great job. Perfect if you don't have a helper to pump the brakes!

Yes, these work great. And your family members will appreciate not having to be called into the garage for what most of them consider a tedious task.

Different adapters for different master cylinders. You can also get the pro adapters made from AL. You can buy the fittings separate also, and adapt stock caps if you have an odd one or two.

Speed bleeders are nice, but I couldn't find them for my Alfa/Brembos. bleeders are big, maybe 10mm. So I only have them on my rears.

Pelican has a lot of good stuff but I’m spoiled by Amazon prime.

I know a lot of people love Amazon, but not me. I avoid them at all costs.

You’ll love it. The lines between the reservoir and MC aren’t designed for pressure so go easy. I use about 5psi to bleed the system.

The first time I used one I was told 40. Then I learned that was way too much. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
