whats better then Eezibleed?
 
Never been a fan of the Gunson Eezibleed kit for the simple reason that the pipe that is screwed to the master cylinder cap is turned round the same number of turns the master cylinder cap is turned. Unless the rest of the pipe and the cap on top of the Eezibleed bottle is also turned you have twists in the pipe.

Working in a confined space makes this kit even harder to use.

What is not to expensive but better? Ideally either the pipe needs to turn in the master cylinder cap or the cap of the Eeziblled bottle or at a joint in between.
I have something like this to use when reverse bleeding

It is fitted into the master cylinder cap with a pipe running to a bottle.
This does not involve any twists as the pipe is short and not attached at the other end.

I cant think of what to use to split the pipe of the Eezibleed that runs from master cylinder to Eezibleed bottle

You could get a vacuum testing kit there's plenty on eBay, and use the bottle from the easibleed as the fluid collection bottle ;)

Using the adaptors included in the vacuum kit you can make up a vacuum brake bleeding setup ;)

Loosen or remove (keeping it clean) the cap from the fluid bottle as you fit the cap to the reservoir will top this. Then you screw the fluid bottle to its cap.

Although in saying that, I think my reservoir cap on the eazibleed can be turned whilst holding the pipe firm.

Appreciate screwing the bottle to the cap but when screwing to the master cylinder the pipe to the eeizibleed bottle twists.

if the other end is not connected to anything, it will be free to rotate and not get snagged and twist

I've had a Mityvac bleeding kit for donkey's years, used it on the many motorbikes I had. Hand operated vacuum pump, fluid collection bottle etc.

Yes, those are similar, I wouldn't pay that for the first kit though, you can get exactly the same kit for less than £12 ;)
