I’m warming up to turkey basters. There is one that pressurizes the system with a pump sprayer. Forget the name.

Where most bleeders fall short is the adapters. The threaded types generally work OK. If your bleeding a master like a Corvette
style you need something quality. You will end up with fluid going everywhere. The Branick is the only one I've used that works.
Hope this helps, Steve

I use this one by MityVac. I use it dry, only to pressurize the system, which keeps everything clean, so that I have no problems using it on systems that contain DOT-5 versus other fluids. It's pricier than the Motive, but high quality.

Motive. I bought one for Chevys and bought the adaptor for Honda and Jeep. Works great and O don’t need to bug wifey to help.

Get the motive.

You want to know the secret?

You can use it empty; filling it with fluid is only required if you want to fill the cars res while bleeding at the same time. For mort brake bleeding, topping up the cars res before starting is plenty.

Completely mess free.
