So i got a mityvac mv 8000 brake bleeder. Looks pretty good. But it was cheap. So I'm wondering if its any good. I read reviews and a lot were bad. A lot were good. Half of the good ones were street bike users. So I'm wondering if should bring it back while its still packaged. If anyone has experience with this model I would appreciate the feedback. Also, what are you guys using and would recommend? I'm working in a shop soon with flat rate so what will be durable and worth my buck?

 

They are great. I use mine for a lot of stuff - even for non-automotive stuff. Mighty Vac also offers inexpensive rebuild kits, so that's a plus if wears out and you ever start to loose vacuum.

I wouldn't worry about the cost. Its not a very complicated tool and would be easy for a competitor to duplicate. If anything, you may want to trade up for a 8500 model, which is made of metal and may be more durable for professional shop use:
