Motive Power Bleeder
Hi guys,
I'm about to buy a Motive Power Bleeder. I'm undecided between the standard 0100 kit and the aluminum swivel 0109. Is the swivel worth the extra $25?
Thanks

The "black label" is worth it.

We have the swivels on all of ours, would not be without it. I also like the quick disconnects that allow you to change the adaptors for various makes without venting the tank.

Great kit.
JFP, Quick question...What pressure do you use when bleeding brakes/clutch?
I stay between 10-15psi but am curious what your shop uses.
Thanks!

Thanks guys, also, many say it's better to use it dry, without brake fluid?

Good question. I use mine with the fluid in it. If its better to do without, I can skip the clean up drill afterwards.

I have an older model Motive and the first time I used it " wet " the damn hose became dislodged at the tank and sprayed out brake fluid ! I decided right then to use it dry. Been using it like that for years now and no clean up needed, just keep an eye on the fluid level of the master cylinder reservoir. The newer models are probably better than what I have.

For the past ten years I have used mine "wet". No issues at all and a thorough clean up afterward and all is good.

We try and stay between 12-15PSIG, you really do not need more pressure than that.

We use them as they were designed to be used, wet.

It is not. Using the tank dry creates the opportunity to induce air into the system, which then becomes problematic to get out as it goes directly into the ABS/PSM system which would need to be activated (Durametric, PIWIS, PST II) to get it out.
It also eliminates the "one man" advantage of the Motive system, as the reservoir needs to be monitored to make sure it does not run dry.

Black label used wet. Simple, easy, effective. I never thought it could be this easy but it is.
