Default Hey DIYers, what is your favorite manual fluid extractor?

I'm looking to purchase a manual fluid extractor for oil, transmission and brake fluid changes.

Do you have a favorite that you use and that has some longevity to it?

This is what the Car Care Nut recommends: I use it for brake fluid only. See the 7 minute mark in this video




The oil and transmission fluids do not need any sort of pump to remove fluid. Highly recommend that you also see the videos for these procedures on the Car Care Nut channel as well. He does an excellent job walking you through the procedures.

There are threads here on Club Lexus as well for oil change and transmission fluid change. I think that I posted my procedure for transmission fluid in that thread with some pictures. Transmission fluid is usually recommended to be a one time drain and fill only every 60,000 miles (not a flush and not multiple drain and fills).
