You can buy one form BMP for like $50. Or just do it the old fashion way.

You do not just need a pressure bleeder. You also need the adapter for the reservoir.
OR do it the old way but without the extra person. Securely fit the bleeder hose into a bottle with the hose reaching down into the bottom. Put brake fluid into the bottle making sure that the hose is submerged and will not suck air. Make sure the the reservoir has enough fluid. Connect the bleeder hose to the bleeder of a particular wheel and crack it open a little. Pump the brake pedal aproximately 6 to 8 times. Close bleeder screw and refill reservoir. Repeat process on other wheels.

I have used a Lisle Bleeding Cup on all of my cars for about 10 years. They cost about $7.00 and includes a cup with cap, clear tube, and various sized rubber nipples. Open the bleed screw, slip the tube with the correct size adaptor over the nipple, and pump the pedal. If there is air in the sytem, you will see bubbles in the hose. If not, you can assume you are bled, and can close the nipple. It is impossible to suck ari back in to the system. You can also visually inspect the color of the fluid. A simple on-man system to say the least.
