FWIW...I had a Princess Auto brake pump and it broke after the first time using it. I don't think the seals were meant for brake fluid. Vacuum Pump & Brake Bleeder Kit | Princess Auto
I'm now using one of these. Works okay but a little slow. You need to get used to putting grease around the nipple and screw to false stop air leaks. http://www.mityvac.com/hq_images/MV6835_hr.jpg |

If you need the bleeder kit for a different purpose than brake bleeding or need it to do multiple cars at work, ignore my post.
I suggest upgrading your bleeders to speed bleeders. $7 a pop, but you'll never have to worry about your old bleeders breaking, or bleeder kits for that matter. Speed Bleeder Bleeding Brakes Bleeding Motorcycle Brakes Automotive Bleeder Screw Brake Bleeder

You can't go wrong with the Speed Bleeders.
A+++ Would bleed again.
