    I've used one for probably 20 years, and the only thing I didn't like about it was how the "universal" clamp worked for Toyotas. Basically you have a chain that goes under the brake master that you tighten (on both sides), attempting to get a good seal. It's definitely a trial and error process, usually requiring multiple attempts to finally get a good seal that will support 10 psi of pressure.

    I saw pictures of a different brand of pressure bleeder, and the Toyota fitting in the picture was part of it. There is no guessing whether you'll get a good seal with this cap. It always has a good seal. This is the missing link in the Motive system for Toyotas.

    If you're thinking about buying a Motive system for your Tacoma, recommend buying the basic Motive bottle, then order the Speedi-Bleed Toyota adapter. You'll have the best of both systems.

    https://www.speedi-bleed.com/produc.../c800-toyota-lexus-brake-bleeder-adapter.html

    What I like about the Motive system is that it's fully self contained (i.e. you don't need to connect it to an air source), and it allows you to bleed the brakes by yourself. You don't need a second person to assist.

    Now if you have other vehicles in your stable, buy the Motive package with the adapter for that vehicle, and the Speedi-bleed Toyota adapter.

    I have the motive bleeder, it’s great and second advocating its use and purchase.

    For the master cylinder adapter, I use the following that I made with some plumbing supplies and PVC glue, it holds pressure and was very cheap to make. I got the idea from a member on here, wish I saved the post, as I could give them credit for an outstanding idea:
