Default Motive power bleeder

Is there a local source for purchasing a Motive power bleeder? I really have to break down and buy one of these since I do all of the maintainence on our three cars. Thanks!

Jim,

I bought mine through AJ USA or Performance Products. It only took a couple days to arrive and at $40 it is a steal. The first time I did my own brake fluid covered the cost of the power bleeder.

Enjoy,

Thanks guys! I may need to borrow one for my immediate project and follow up with a purchase from one of the usual suspects (Pelican, AJ, PP).

You can borrow mine if you can't find somebody closer with one.

Jim- you are also welcome to mine if you need it seeing as I'm right around the corner.

FWIW: I picked up mine from Best Foreign Parts for something like $45. Throw in something else (ie., brake pads) and any purchase over $50 is free shipping. If I remember correctly it came from their warehouse in NJ and I had it 2 days after placing the order.

Which car are you planning to work on? If it's the eggplant we can flush when you bring it over for the roll bar fitting. There is a resident motive bleeder in the shop. It bleeds almost as much as my knuckles after trying to free up a header.
