Default Brake bleeder

What's a good single person brake bleeder to bleed brakes before/after track days?

Default Motive Products

I use a Motive Power Brake Bleeder - available at most of the on-line Auto stores if not available locally.
FWIW - I fill up the brake reservoir and just use the Motive unit as a "Power " source to minimize the amount of wasted brake fluid. Typically I have to disconnect the unit a couple of times to refill the Brake reservoir.

^^^ I use a Motive as well.

Use it the same way. I do not fill the motive canister. Only the fluid reservoir. Less fluid waste and less time cleaning up.

Ditto. I purchased the one with the GM adapter from OG Racing 17 years ago. Still going strong although I did have to replace the hose that aged out.

Choose the 1108 Adapter for recent (last couple of decades) GM Vehicles. Price comes to $60 plus shipping.
