Fluid extractor recommendations
Looking for a recommendation for a pneumatic fluid extractor setup. Don't want to break the bank on it, but really want something that "just works" without a lot of fiddling around.
I've been thinking about this one. What are you guys using? Thanks, Brian

I use a stainless turkey baster that has a silicone bulb, but I only use it for brake and clutch fluid.
I've never had that tool, but I have had pretty good luck with OEM tools for jobs I only do occasionally.

I've not used much of the OEM tools, but haven't really seen anything bad about them. Reviews on that unit aren't terrible. Appreciate the feedback

Just an update. I bought the OEM Tools fluid extractor. It is a well built and seems to work very well. I tested it on a gallon of water and it vacuumed it out with ease and was surprisingly quick.
I am using it with air, and is a bit noisy. That is the air exhaust, and no fault of the tool. Highly recommend

Finally got an opportunity to use it. Drained the auto trans and didn’t spill a single drop.
Very happy with the purchase!
