While I'm still a big fan if Eezibleed, they are pricey.
A couple of weeks ago I was in the plumbing department of a local
hardware store (OSH) and spotted what looked like a nifty little
vacuum(?) pump for <$20. I was very tempted. Problem was that there
wasn't much in the way of information on the package; just a picture of
a car and an implication that it could be used for brakes. I was in a
rush so I didn't spend a lot of time checking it out. It was nice and
compact and appeared to be well made. I'm planning on taking a closer
look next time I'm there.
