I have one of the Motive units. Love that thing. Really easy to
use--- put some fluid in the tank, screw the lid onto your reservoir,
pump it up to 10 psi (about 4 pumps) and then go open your bleeders
at the wheels. Ba-da-bing. If you are anywhere near the SF Bay Area
you're welcome to borrow mine.
