I would be very careful about using this push method. As the brakes age and the rubber deteriorates, and any rust flakes dislodge (remember that brake fluid absorbs water) all that junk accumulates at the lowest level. This means it settles in the calipers and wheel cylinders. You want to be very careful not to push any of this silt back up into anything that can be damaged. I.E you wouldn't want it in the moving parts of the brakes or in things like proportional valves. Antilock brakes are especially vulnerable.

I am not sure that the stuff would always be dislodged, but it could be pushed up. Where I worked a couple of the older mechanics said they tried these type of brake bleeders and had a couple of cars (2) develop bad masters after using them. They recommended what I then bought (vacula brake bleeder) and I love it. It is the easiest thing to use and 1 person can bleed the whole car in 5 minutes. It works incredible and has zero mess.
When I bought it from snap on I think it was 130.00 but it seems like it is more now. I found this other alternative from a good company for less. Mityvac
If they seem a bit expensive I would recommend just do someone's brakes for them for 50.00 and save them some money and recoup some of your expense. These things make brake jobs so easy you will never regret it after you have it. It also makes it super easy and totally mess free to completely flush the whole brake system.

Jeez, this is pathetic. Don't you guys have wives, girlfriends, friends or children to help you bleed brakes? The two person method is free, it always works and you can have it done before you get the bleeding tool out and hooked up. You could also just get someone off the street to help, but this might cost you a beer.

It really is the easiest thing in the world to use.
-Put line wrench on bleeder screw.
-Press rubber end onto brake bleeder screw.
-Squeeze handle on top op vacula(has a hook that keeps it going on its own.) This gets the vacuum going.
-Open bleed screw.
-Wait 3-10 seconds.
-Close bleeder screw.

That is all there is to it. It works perfectly every time. And you don't have to trust the person on the brakes that they didn't let up too early. You can also just leave it on longer to do flushes of all the fluid. You just turn it on and then fill the master as it drains down. It goes slow enough that you can do it all by yourself. And if you get a car that has problem brakes to bleed, you just let it suck fluid for a couple minutes. Awesome tool.
