My old method of bleeding brakes had me cussing for years until I grabbed a vacuum bleeder kit from Harbor Freight for $35

I used to do the two person pump and hold method and it always ended with someone yelling or air still in the line. Ever since I swapped to a vacuum bleeder I can do a full flush on my F-150 in 20 minutes by myself. Anyone else find a tool that made them feel dumb for not buying it sooner?

Feel you on that, I spent years doing the ol' "hold my beer and pump" method myself.

Switching to a proper pump setup saved me so much time and mess.
