Brake bleeders: can anyone ID these?

[SRR2]

These two brake bleeders appeared on BMWTips.com's site in an article on brake bleeding by Dave Zeckhausen. I've never seen either brand. The B&G stainless steel one looks pretty nice for a pump-up type. It looks a lot more rugged than the typical Motive plastic bottle types.

But the other one without the reservoir, and that uses shop air with a regulator is more interesting since it doesn't require filling the pump-up can.

I assume that it would require refilling the brake fulid reservoir after each bleed, but that's not too difficult and would cut down on fluid waste.

Does anyone know who makes this second type? I've searched as many potential sources as I can think of, but so far haven't found it.

Very interested in the second type as I just recently upgraded to shop air. Let me know what you find!

Steve D'Gerolamo designed and sells this type of bleeder cap. The complete bleeder was expensive, but well made. The cap alone, at $30, isn't too bad.

Steve is very knowledgeable about E34s having owned one. Excellent service too. However, his prices are a bit higher than say BMA. Still, knowledge and service sometimes out weighs price, sometimes.

Another interesting bleeder is the one made by Motive Products:

The black label euro bleeder is $70.

The cap alone is $35:

Thanks for the heads up on ultimategarage. It turns out that the cap alone should do the job because the regulator on the load side of my compressor will regulate just fine down to ~20psi. So, with the cap the cranking down the regulator, I should be good to go. I like this approach a lot more than the weed-sprayer. Yes, you have to stop and refill the reservoir, but you never waste any fluid.
