Eezi bleed by Gunson which is a plastic Brake fluid resovoir with pipes and uses a spare tyre for power. they are great as long as you watch the pressure and don't have an air leak.
I like them

e-z bleed brake nipples have a spring loaded plunger in them. These rust very easily and are weak.
I don't like them.

Mind you I wouldn't like to be working on my Audi in the street in Sweden. You would need a garage.

Well damn. No wonder I can't remember the difference. My Gunson (sold by Halford) leaks and is a PITA. The top leaks, the cannister leaks

This time of year I don't even like working on the car IN the garage.

The Americans call the Eezi bleed an EZ bleed to confuse matters.

If the pressure is too high or the seals are damaged then you will get a leak, then again you gould just have a bad one.

Siemens used to make a good unit, it was only 800 Euros!
