I got the KD brake bleeder (small pressurized tank), it does a very good job and quickly. The last time I did a brake job I used the 1/4 full coke bottle of brake fluid and a hose from the bleeder screw to the bottle. Both methods are good, the pressure bleeder is better out of the two but cost $200 more than the bottle method.

I use the Motive Products power bleeder 0250. It does a wide variety of vehicles. Cost is around $80. They make several models, with varying prices. Worked well on my brothers 81 Vette and my 88 GTA. Well worth the price. Sure saves time and is a great way to flush out the old fluid quickly.
