Any comments on this Mityvac device for brake bleeding and fluid removal?

I've never done brake bleeding before but I have an idea of how to do it, is this job an easy diy?

 

Couldn't tell from the Mityvac description, but you will need to force brake fluid into the resevoir and open the bleeders at the calipers in the proper sequence. You will also need to know what pressure to push the fluid -- too little or too much will cause various problems. I've done brake bleeds before and it isn't difficult. I have an '03 E320 which has the SBC braking so I can't bleed brakes myself -- have to go to dealer or indy shop. I know people who have a Mityvac to do oil changes and swear by it. Another company, Motive Products (do a Google for it) make brake bleeding systems for about $50.

 

I use Motiv. It works fine. They are based in Bay Area, CA
