I would invest in the metal MityVac as well.

Worth the extra money as my plastic seemed so much more flimsy than the metal one.

The handle on my plastic MightyVac broke last month... Time to get a metal one.

Speedbleeders were pretty smooth. I had ordered them, and picked up a Mighty-Vac at the local Autozone. Label read OEM Brand but product was labeled MV.

The Mighty-Vac won't work with the above speedbleeders due to their design, at least not for me. The included hose/tubing and connectors did though.

I think the vac ran about $35.00 at Autozone and the speedbleeders were about $7.00 or so each x 4.
