I only have Toyota and Lexus stuff. I have the Motive Brake Bleeder system from 10 years ago. The cap I got with it originally involves wire straps and such. Sorta sucks. No, it really sucks.

Is there a better system where the cap I use on the cars in my sig will screw on or snap on and prevent a lot of mess?
 
I think Motive has vehicle-specific caps/adapters. Look here. You're just using the "universal" adapter.

I'm using 1101 with the chains. Yuck...

That is there "Toyota" lid.

PERFECT!! Great advice.

$83 delivered. I was concerned about needing an air tank but their video showed a guy hooking up the air pressure line to his tire.

No more pumping and having an adapter that actually fits my cars.

i have both a motive and vacuum bleeder. i bought the motive for the BMW and it works well for that. the vacuum bleeder i use for everything else. seems to work just as well as the motive. one thing i have always worried about the motive is a leak in the bottle or hose spraying brake fluid everywhere . this won't happen with vacuum bleeder.

You don't have an air compressor? to me an air compressor is essential piece of kit for any car guy

My last one rusted out and it hasn't been a priority. You make me feel emasculated

But how will you get your tire back to the correct pressure ?

My grandad had one of those hoses that screwed into a sparkplug hole and let the engine compress the air for his tires, etc.
