This has got to be the coolest & easiest brake bleeder ever!!!

I just ordered one as a late Christmas present to myself.

Looks cool, but I suspect it's the same exact one that you can use on your car. In my experience any kart which had self adjusting brakes with nipple did not require bleeding for a year or so. Now the other style brake system (without reservoir) semms to want to be gravity bled once a day Sad

Ken- how big are your nipples?

Okay - that doens't sound good...

On my MCP's, the bleed valves take a 4mm wrench to open. Are the sizes indicated on the website the size of wrench that the nipple requires?

Looks like you could tape a bottle to the end of the hose vs. just shooting it all over the ground or trying to catch it in paper towels.

Just get a chemical resistant bottle, drill a hole in the lid, then insert the tube. Secure it with zip ties on either side of the lid surface.

Or, you can buy the purpose made ones. They even have a little hook to hang the bottle with. The real advantage is that you can get a siphon going and just pull out the dirty fluid and air.
