Fluid changing hardware

Well I look at my small MityVac fluid changer and then I look at all the fluids in the brake system, the transfer case hydraulics and my hand starts to ache thinking about all the hand pumping. What brand of brake fluid changing equipment do you guys use? I want to upgrade to a larger set up but there seem to be a lot of choices. I don't want to spend over $150 if possible.
Thanks!

I use my wife and a bottle of brake fluid. Works great. Probably costs more than 150.

Ah ha! She must have strong legs and spare time she is willing to lend you. I can't pull my wife out of the nursery plants long enough to get a bit of assistance and that usually only lasts for half the needed time!

Get a Power Bleeder from one of the parts venders, they are less than $75 and work great. You can bleed all the hydraulic sytems by yourself with this valuable tool

I got a power bleeder from EI when I had my Mog and it works great on the pinz as well. Best investment $ going. It takes one person to do the whole thing, as I am usually working on the stuff when no one else is around, it is very good for me.
Cheers,

I narrowed it down to the black Motive bleeder offered by EI. I have several other vehicles (VW, Isuzu) that it should work on too. It will be nice to have a more "robust" unit instead of the small hand held unit from Mity Vac. Said unit works fine it is just a lot of hand pumping the whole time you are bleeding. Thanks guys for your feedback.
