Default Clutch bleeding techniques

Which one is the easiest and best do you think? Has anyone tried to push the fluid in through the reservoir with a pump? I have this bleeder and thought about doing it that way. http://www.sjdiscounttools.com/psv12-205.html
Would there be any issues bleeding the system that way?

aint worth 100$, its easy to just raise the car up and crack the bleeder while you have a friend push the pedal.

Well in that case try it out then. I personally would just do it the old fashioned way though.

get a buddy in the car and tell him to push the pedal down.

then open the bleeder

then close the bleeder.

and that should be all you need to do.
