New brake bleeding tool?




Does anyone else read Hot Rod/Car Craft?  Did you see the ads for the
'Phoenix Injector'?  It is advertised as a very versatile brake
bleeder/flusher that can:
- bench bleed
- pressure bleed
- vacuum bleed
- perform 'reverse fluid injection' (advertised as 'the best clutch
bleeding technique ever').  Maybe this thing can actually bleed the clutch
slave/master which is such a pain on Audis.

They have a web site at http://www.phxsyss.com/

Some other cool things - works w/ABS; has a 'pulse' mode that pulses fluid
through the system, helping to eliminate bubbles.  They also have a
'universal cap adapter' which is intended to fit any screw-on cap.

Anyone bought this thing?  I've got too many bleeding tools already
(Mityvac, the one from Griot's Garage that runs off an air compressor, the
Gunnson one, and several homemade ones).  Each works well on *one* specific
task; maybe this thing will do everything well?  Or maybe I should just
save my money...........SLM
