Default Anyone using Griots One-Man Brake Bleeder - See url

With 4 cars and needing to do brake work on all of them from time to time, plus needing to flush the brakes lines on the TT at least once per year, my wife and son get tired of coming out in their pajamas to pump the brake pedal.

Hence, I'm thinking about one. Is there someplace else to get the same unit for alot less than Griots?

Does this unit work really well?<ul><li><a href="http://www.griotsgarage.com/search.jsp?searchtext=brake+bleeder">Griots Pricey Brake Bleeder</a></li></ul>

Default IPD has a great one, very similar to the EZ bleed, but

uses what looks like a garden sprayer to pressurize the system. Here's the link:
