Tried that cheap $40 vacuum bleeder from Harbor Freight

I was dead set against cheap brake tools for years. Buddy of mine lent me his fancy Motive bleeder and it worked great but cost over $100. Found this tiny electric pump model for 40 bucks and figured I'd waste the money. Used it on my '97 F-150 last week after a caliper swap and it pulled the fluid through clean in under 15 minutes. Anyone else get surprised by a cheap tool that actually worked?

Used that same little pump on my '88 Mustang and it surprised me how well it worked for the price. No leaks, no mess, just did the job.

Ha, I mean, is it really that serious though?
