New toy for the day - pneumatic brake bleeder

[R Scheer 502]

Capri pneumatic brake bleeder.

 

I just purchased this to bleed the surge brakes on my boat trailer.  It worked quite well, only thing I would have done differently would be to teflon tape the bleeder screw.  It will suck air through the threads, making it look like it was still sucking air from the lines.  It didn't matter in my case as I wanted to flush the brake fluid so I bled until the fluid was clear.

I had a different version of that but it solved many a brake issue over the years.
