I like them so much, I actually own several, and keep spare vane sets in case they need rebuilt. So far, after 10 years of frequent and abusive use, they are still pumping as new. The pump bodies are stainless, the impellers are nylon and individual vanes, so actually well designed. I do take care

I wonder if an EMT electrical conduit bender would work, I have 1/2" and 3/4" benders.  Their bender accomplishes the same thing, I bet an EMT bender would work.  They also have tees and ells so I'm not sure how much bending might be required but I suppose there could be some.

I have read about people making the same thing with a cheap garden sprayer, which you can find for < $20. That Motive one looks exactly like their pressure brake bleeder I have, with a different fitting on the end of the tube. I love the brake bleeder, would never want to bleed brakes any other
