I'm looking for a small fluid extractor for mainly sucking out brake fluid reservoirs, oil/fuel filter housings etc
I don't plan on using it for oil changes.
Something air powered or able to hold its own vacuum without being pumped preferred.
If it doubles up as a brake bleeder that would be a bonus.
Any recommendations would be great.

Why do you want to suck out brake fluid reservoirs? That's not a normal thing to do.

If that's all you're using it for it would be far less effort to just use this, and not fanny about with air lines etc

I suck out the old before refilling and bleeding.
Just habit.

It is when changing brake fluid
Much less fluid to push through the lines if you drain the resivoir first

I have one of the Sealey air powered vacuum bleeders that's pretty good, just pull the bleed nipple adaptor off the end of the hose and you can use it for draining reservoirs etc.
