My mate in the LBS got this in as
a) it was going cheap
b) I needed to bleed my brakes and hadn't got it quite right last time

Next plan is to see if it can be adapted to bleed any other brakes
Edit it also brought this to mind

and this is why every shop I know quickly gave up on them. Great in theory, fluid everywhere in practice.
Yesterday, I brought a man in with divining rods to find a new place for a well. I had a go, it didn't work, he had a go it worked. very odd.
whith his assitant a giant lady body that looked like me in a dress with long red hair who was his assistant marking places on the ground with sticks.
A thoroughly bizarre but entertaining morning.
Quirrel- we occasionally use them at work. I think I'm the only one that they work for, and I don't believe in them. Which is strange.
Do you use metal or willow?
The garlic rubbing thing above... I used a well cleaned section of inner tube for a free version of the same thing! 🙂 bloody tightwad.
Never used an EZI Bleed on MTB's but regularly use them on cars I work on. Makes the job super easy IMO
I did however use 'Pagaent.exe'(sorry for geek content) for the first time a few weeks ago. Never knew it existed and now my remote logins are so much easier
