Not trying to hijack you thread Willie !

By the way, your sticker on the back of your truck gave me my laugh for the day.
I built one after reading about them, it is still around the shop. Works so good on many different things, thank for sharing your great idea.
Now you're just getting fancy to show off!
I even built a 1 gallon version.
Willie59,
Just thought I would boost this thread back to the top for any of the new guys and to mention what I used mine for today!
Probably one of the smallest job a "Suck Bucket" has ever been used on!
Had the little project today of flushing the brake fluid out of my wife's 2013 Vespa scooter. As I did not want to chance dripping brake fluid on the paint work I was looking around for an old turkey baster or syringe of some kind to suck the old fluid out of the master cylinders before putting fresh in. I could have just pumped the old stuff right through but thought starting with a mostly empty master would save some time.
Then I hit me why not use the good old "Suck Bucket"? Did not have to worry about over filling the five gallon pail on this job as each master cylinder holds at the most a couple table spoons of fluid.
Chalk up one more potentially messy job to a fast and neat one thanks the the "Suck Bucket".
Thanks again for sharing, willie59
I would strongly suggest making one of these "Suck Buckets" up just for fun. Takes all of ten minutes to round up the parts and once you have one you are sure to find an application for it.glad this post got revived i had not seen it before now , will keep it in my mind now for just the right occasion although i do have a small plastic hose fit to a camlock fitting on my service trucks oil evac diaphram pump, sometimes it dont suck so good .
Hey Willie, I've just shared the Suck Bucket with a mate of mine who is in the hydraulic game and does alot of work on fishing trawlers. Because he doesn't always have access to mains power to run the vac so I suggested he makes a Venturi and hook to an air compressor.
You have come up with a brilliant idea btw.
