Brake Bleeders

I've been changing a lot of brake pads lately, and sometimes I have a need to do a bleed. Do vacuum brake bleeders allow for 1-person bleeds?

I'm considering getting something like this:



What do you think?

Got one, LOVE it. I do most of my work alone though, so it is almost a requirement. I used to gravity bleed and see if it was good enough until i could get a helper, no more.........

Thanks all. I will pay a visit to Harbor Freight on Monday and pick one up. I've done brakes on 6 vehicles in the past year and am just now acquiring the proper tools to make the job easier/safer.

That's a nice rig. I used my neighbors and it worked nicely, ironically, having him to show me how to use it gave me an extra hand so I really didn't need it after all!!

There is another one that is alot better. It was posted on here, I have looked for that thread for a while and didn't find it. Maybe MikeyB will post. I think he has one, can't remember. It has been a few years.
