One person brake bleeder, what do you recommend?

[jungle at hickorytech.net]

$60 vs $18......the time to run to the hardware store and assemble it,
made it worth while to just buy one from parts4vws.com. FYI, don't go
above 12psi on an A4....you will cause the resivor to leak at the
seam.....DOH!

  Or, if you're a cheapskate like me, you can fashion one from a
  pesticide
  sprayer, a scrap reservoir cap, some plastic tubing, a brass fitting,
  and
  some jb weld. That's what I did, and it cost me about $18, including
  a new
  sprayer. I had the cap on hand, and the tubing and brass barb to pipe
  thread
  fitting were cheap.

  It works well.
