I use a Mity-Vac. If I remember right, Auto-Zone had them at a very good price.
Works great.

After bleeding each caliper you might want to step on the brake pedal a couple times as vacuum bleeding tends to retract the pistons a bit. Its disconcerting when the pedal goes to the floor the first time you step on it.<LOL>
