I just did mine with one of these. Had air stuck in lines due to fiddler brakes, once I pumped the foot brake and fidler at the same time I was impressed with how is sucked the air out off the lines.

when we stuck all the brake lines back in my truck a few months ago and bled it up from scratch Sig filled the master cylinder up with fluid and held the rubber cap on nice and tight with his hand and used the duster gun on the compressor to "gently" put positive pressure into the M/C through the vent hole in the cap, worked a treat and pushed fluid through the remote booster and right through the system :D

If your sneaky you can use a vaccum cleaner a glass bottle and a bleeder hose to draw the fluid through.

At work we use one of these for reverse bleeding the clutch lines in the trucks. I've used it a couple times for my cars. works bloody well. It's got a length of vacuum tube to get the size.. the seals last longer than you might think, you get about 18months per sprayer.
