I tried my mighty vac for the first time today. It sucks. Wait, that's what it's supposed to do. But it sucks too hard. While trying to bleed my brakes I kept showing bubbles in the line. I kept waiting for the bubbles to clear but they wouldn't. The instructions say tiny bubbles may appear from air seeping around the threads of the bleeder valve. These bubbles weren't tiny. I finally shut the bleeder valve and the bubbles kept coming. I guess they were coming in at the adapter that slips over the valve.

The instructions say pump it until a certain amount of fluid is in the bottle. I guess they figure by that time surely all the air is out of the system. I guess so as the brakes seem firm but I believe I prefer the old fashion method of bleeding, using a helper to pump.
