Anyone have a source for the Big A$$ Syringes...

for back bleeding brakes and clutch. I would like to keep a few around. Just went though all the ones in the Magura kit. I would like to keep a few around for those emergency times. I guess we are not allowed to buy them at the drug store any longer... I asked my local CVS they offered one that you couldn't quince a gerbils thirst from.
 
I bought some simple syringes at Walmart, capacity is 2oz (60ml). These are handy to use. They were located in the automotive section with the gas cans. Designed for easy 2 stroke mixing for small engines.
 
Cool, I will hit the TSC sometime over the weekend. I like the Walmart idea, just not going there...
 
My wife is a director at BD, the mfg. I'll ask her if they are distributed anywhere easily obtainable.
 
Well, my wife almost went into medicine, maybe I need her to rethink that teaching gig...
 
The plastic syringes that come in the bleeding kits never worked well for me. Seems like the plunger binds in the tube. I finally bought a glass medical syringe on ebay. Much better.
 
Try the BBQ dept at any major retailer, they should have large volume marinade injectors, they work great. The ones designed with an o-ring seal on the piston work best. 'Been using them for years.
 
Here is what I use in the shop, Syringes are good for away from home but this always works for me. Brakes, clutch anything that needs bled. Open the valve, crack the bleeder & watch the master cylinder. The tube on top allows you put gentle pressure or just works as a vent

Didn't read the whole thread but I just pop in the local vets and grab them there. Luckily they're just around the corner.

Hows Freds Setup! Epic!

haha, mine is almost identical! I put a schrader valve on it and pressurize it (lightly).
