Default Inexpensive pressure bleeder

I have several pressure bleeders, but one that I particularly like is one of the less expensive ones around, and I see that Volvo supplier IPD has them on sale for $22.80 (I used to have a Volvo). The product is called Eezibleed, is a UK product, and gets it's air source from a bicycle tire. Fill a tire to the recommended 2 bar, or 30 lbs, pressure, and you're set to go. You can either fill the container with fluid, or just use it as an air source, keeping the brake fluid reservoir filled. They won't last a lifetime....I find I get around a year to year and a half out of them, which includes alot of brake bleeding during track season. Anyhow, no affiliation with IPD, beyond past parts buying. Their part number is ENT4062, and they can be reached at www.ipdusa.com or 800-444-6473. Catalog code is 'en', if anyone asks.

I think they sell them at Halfords (for the Brits amongst us!).
They're about £18 I think. I was looking at them yesterday for my BMW racer.
You have to become inventive working on a car on your own, don't you?

was an american thing , so listed shops in us that you can buy all the parts from
