Is this a Motive-type pressure bleeder or something different? Link or pic?

Not "Motive-type" the actual Motive pressure bleeder. Check out their site:

Dang, I spent about $15 more than that couple years ago when I bought mine.

I don't see anything on the site for that price when I search for motive power bleeder. Am I missing something?

I have Motive bleeder but I’ve read on Stoptech.com that they don’t recommend using power bleeders because they introduce air in the brake fluid.
Follow the link to the right way?

I just read your link. Where does it say on their site not to use a power bleeder? When using a bleeder you should never go above 12 psi on the system. These have been used for years. When used properly, they work VERY well. Send more substantial evidence before submitting an opinion. If you do not put enough fluid in the bleeder, I agree with your submittal. The key is to manage the fluid properly.

And FWIW - automotive factories use pressurized systems to fill the brake systems. This is nothing new.

I wasn’t submitting an opinion, just information; Stoptech’s recommended “right way”. See “Pressure bleeding do’s and don’ts” under the following link.

Nothing personal...seriously.

but, even StopTech's information seems a bit flawed. The amount of pressure required to force air into brake fluid is immense. I highly doubt 10-12psi of air pressure causes the air molecules to be forced into a liquid. I need more data in order to formulate a proper conclusion.

Call me ****...
