I know a lot of people have the Motive, but I like that these others have at least another opening to release the pressure, other than the pump. And at least in pictures, seem to be better built? Also, any of you chime in whether the aluminum master cylinder caps are worth the extra money? Thanks in advance!
I did my first brake flush recently with the Motive. It was easy and the pressure release wasn't an issue if you slowly do it. I did the try method which meant a lot of back and forth with releasing pressure and replenishing the reservoir but really not a bother. Upside is no clean up of the bleeder tank. If you are not tracking thus changing fluid every 2-3 years I think the Motive without a pressure release is more than good enough.

Is that 2,000 miles on the clock?!?!
