Threw $80 at a 'professional' brake bleed kit that couldn't even get air out of a caliper

Spent 3 hours fighting with the stupid thing on my 02 Civic, ended up just using a buddy's handheld vacuum pump from Harbor Freight for $15 and it worked on the first try, anyone else fall for those overpriced bleed kits?

Man that is exactly what happened to me. I bought one of those fancy Motive power bleeders for like a hundred bucks and the thing leaked all over my driveway. The seal wouldn't hold pressure for more than 30 seconds. My neighbor came over with a $12 hand pump from Autozone and we had the whole system bled in twenty minutes. It's crazy how those big brand kits are just overengineered junk that barely works.

Did you try cleaning the seal first or just send it back?
