I just bought one yesterday, the black label version with the aluminum cap.

My clutch was suspect from my first test drive of the car and I knew it needed a bleed at the very least (and, hey who is ever lucky all the time?) probably a slave cylinder.

This was my first repair task on the car since bringing it home the other day.

I'm here to tell you the pressure bleeder is the shiz. I got a ton of air out of the clutch line and it now works great.

As for the 1 liter/ 3 liter thing, I used the metal bottle of fluid to catch the discarded fluid from the slave cylinder and filled it completely and was still getting some bubbles. So I need to go buy more and continue the bleeding until I get zero air.

With only one liter in the power bleeder, there is some risk that the pick up tube will start pumping air instead of fluid, which would set you back a ways. Keeping additional fluid in the chamber will preclude that.
