Whats the tool called? bleeding brakes/slave cylinders

Tomorrow I plan on replacing my slave cylinder for the clutch on an 86 5speed. Sadly, I dont have a buddy to help me bleed the system. I was THINKING about buying the tool that does it. What exactly are they callled and what does it cost? Or would I be better off just taking it to the shop to have it all done?

I got a one man bleeder kit at autozone for like 7 bucks. It's just a little bottle with a magnet on it so you can put it above the bleeder and it has a hose running to the bottom. Works great. I'll never use the two person system again.

You could make one yourself with some hose and a bottle.
There are all kinds of hose. Fat hose. Skinny hose. Greasy hose. Black hose. White hose. LOL

A length of vacuum hose and a jar are all you need. Just put some fluid in the jar to keep air from backing up into the hose.
