Cost me $25 on sale and took me less than 5 minutes to bleed my clutch with zero mess. A really awesome tool to have. Don't forget to use the 20% off coupon.

Looks like the same piece of shit I just threw in the trash.
It worked ok for a couple years, but had issues getting the bottle to hold vacuum, managed to overcome that by fiddling / squeezing the cover, but after using it about 4 times the pump is shot. Luckily I was able to resort to the old fashioned way.
$25 isn't much to gamble though.

I have had the Mityvac mv8000 for quite awhile no problem, the only caution is once you buy one everyone wants to borrow it.  Cost  a little more but you can't live without it.

eh, if it only works once it was worth it to me, I was getting homicidal levels of frustration trying to bleed mine. I just wish I'd bought it before I got that big shot of brake fluid to the face like Jenna Jameson.

My HFT exchanges everything, no questions asked. That MVT is only $29 at Sears tho so maybe idda sprung for that if I'd known  . I'm just glad it's done.

+1 for mityvac!

Here's the one I use. Easier than a Mityvac if you have an air compressor.

this.

Ive never had a problem doing it by hand. If i was gonig to drop $25again, id get the mighty vac or make a vacuum pump if i could score a small vacuum pump on craigslist.

thank you

Sorry ya'all had such a negative experience with this. Mine wasn't...seemed like a simple device and it was. I guess spend the extra $5 for the Mityvac then. If it hadn't been for this cheap HF tool I'd have been taking cumshots of brake fluid to the chin instead of riding this wknd...so it was $22.50 well spent.

Some of us, for whatever reason just can't grasp how to bleed a clutch...this is for you. My system of pump/close bleeder/release/open/pump bleeder/curse/repeat wasn't working for me.  . Cheers!

well at least he's being honest about it

Not the first time this bike has made me it's dirty little b****.  At least I didn't swallow.

I stopped using these types of bleeders a while ago, I bought a Motive pressure bleeder and the adaptors and haven't looked back since.

If you "like" their facebook page they have a 20% off coupon plus lots of other coupons. I love Harbor Freight.

Thanks for the thread guys!  I just ordered the one from Griot's.  Was $50.00 delivered and most importantly it seems to be the simplest and easiest to use.  With the longer hose it should be pretty easy to fill the reservoir and bleed at the same time.  Having the smaller Rizoma reservoirs I wont be able to pull it all through without refilling as I go.

Now I just have to wait for it to get here so I can install the Duckabike Slave.
