From the description of the second one, seems like you can pump out the fluid from the brake reservoir.... is that possible to bleed/flush the entire system from the reservoir? That would be great if we could do it without taking off all four wheels.

You still have to unlock the bleeder ports at each caliper. These make it a one man job and keep it neat. Less spilled BF.

Get a Snap-On, Matco, or MAC tools one... they are pricey but work great and have a warranty

Most $$$

SnapOn and Mactool ones come with a gravity feeder which is great... im sure Matco sells a feeder separately

I like the Universal Power Bleeder from http://www.motiveproducts.com. It's sturdy, works well, costs about $65 shipped.

Same here. Worked but very very very slowly. Decided to get speed bleeders which work beautifully.
