Brake bleeder suggestions
Interested in upgrading mine, any feedback on the ones offered would be appreciated. I see they have a power bleeder and my first thought was brake fluid under air pressure around my painted vehicles.

Not exactly sure what you refer to.. Bleeding the wheel (caliper's) after changing pads, replacing (flush and refill fluid) or just insuring there is no air in the system?
I use either a Mityvac vacuum pump with a catch bottle and / or allow gravity to fill the wheel cylinders and do the final pull with the Mityvac.
As a rule, your master cylinder will always be higher than your wheels and brake fluid is pretty viscous so it flows readily and fluid always flows downhill.
I do a brake fluid flush and refill every few years. Fluid is cheap, even DOT 5.
