yes....you pressurize the bottle which has the brake fluid in it...the cap goes over your master cylinder opening..when you open the valve on the brake caliper the pressure pushes the fluid thru your system to the opening..really seems like a one person job
Since I'm gonna be doing a brake job soon, I was thinking about getting this little piece of equipment...I like the idea of pressurizing the system this way vs. the Mityvac when it comes to the brakes.

Just used their model 0252 on a Vette this weekend. Worked great. We were not able to get a decent pedal with vacuum bleeding, drip bleeding or manual bleeding. Hooked up this pressure bleeder and we got a good pedal in about 15 minutes. Well worth the money.

Just need to keep an eye on the master cyl and keep it topped off as necessary. No need for an external reservoir. I completely change my fluid this way.
After your done remove the air fitting in the cap and install a plug or it may hit the hood when you close it.
If you already have a compressor and air regulator with a decent gauge this is a 2$ mod.

I have the Motul power bleeder. We used it on several vehicles, including my friend's ws6 Firebird, and it worked like a charm. just make sure that the brake pistons are all seated before you start pressurizing because it does not have enough *** to compress them. We made the mistake of tapping on the brake pedal to seat the pistons while the motul was under pressure. we ended up rupturing the clear tube on the motul and pressurized brake fluid started squirting out all over my buddy's motorcyle. Needless to say we got that bike out of the garage and washed in a hurry. If you follow the directions it works very well. You'll get a top quality bleed in no time flat without having to screw around with coordinating pedal presses and nipple turns.
Definitely worth the money!
