As in the title really chaps, been out in the workshop this afternoon to sort out my trusty brake bleeder only to find its seen better days and missing a part somewhere , ( I blame the wife again for moving my stuff) so looks like time to invest in a replacement unit.
Right then , whats the recommended kit to go with ,I don't do a lot of brake bleeding anymore so cant justify spending shed loads but a mid range item that does the job properly and easily would be good, any recommendation sthen chap and sources of one.

cheers

i've got one of these Rob,

only used it a few times but it works spot on

I have used one of those, they are good but only if the lid is the correct size, plus can be messy when disconnecting etc, I have recently bought a really basic one of these, it seems to work quite well - basically a 1 way valve and some hose but does the job.

I got one of these...

Amazon product

A bit pricier, but I liked that you can pump it to whatever pressure you need. You often have to deflate the spare to not damage the master cylinder with the eezibleed kits. I've used it a few times now and can't fault it.
 
I've got the same as what Tony has and I also have one of these for sucking it through.....

I was going to buy one of these CLICKY but for the amounts of time I would use it I thought better of it.

In the end I just use the Gunson one with an old wheel I have laying about and just adjust the pressure accordingly.
