I am building a shop and have been asked to get all tools needed, so, I have to mix 'low end', 'mid-range' & 'high range' tools in order to come with a good enough tool chest for the shop to be able to re-invest in itself within the next year maximum year and a half and this guys have lots of tools that I know don't get used a lot so, they can be procured from here at first . . .

I just bought an air compressor, I think a myte vac is in order. Original post, I have the same exact kit as you posted, unfortunately it is hard to get a good seal at the fitting, none of the supplied adapters gave a good seal, it is alright in a pitch.

FYI.

The bleeders that use an air compressor typically require a high flow rate of 6 cfm @ 60 PSI or greater. My small compressor can't meet those requirements. Make sure your compressor can.

I caved and bought a 200psi Dewalt compressor last year   :)

The flow rate is more important than the maximum pressure when using a brake bleeder that exploits the venturi effect.   My 1hp compressor can only do 2.4 cfm @ 40 psi and 1.7cfm @ 90 psi. This is not enough flow for me to get decent vacuum strength like I would with a hand pump.

YMMV

What is the CFM? Most of the Dewalt compressosr meant for home use are around 5 CFM, and that is with them running constantly. Some of theirs are rated for constant, but what a hell of a racket that is! Plus, a constant running mode is going to mean wetter air, and eventual failure after the warranty period, of course.

I just wore out a 60 gallon SpeedAire rated for 9 CFm @ 90 psi. Of course it was about 20 years old. I abused it with constant running.

Most single stage compressors won't cut the mustard for high volume applications regardless of HP or pressure capabilites.

5 CFM at 60psi   Hopefully that will be enough to run the bleeder I got.

I have a small compressor and it works my air bleeder just fine. You have to stop every so often to add fluid to the reservoir anyway, so that gives it a chance to catch up. Not sure how big the compressor is exactly, but it has 2 tanks and I can carry it...so not too big.

Thanks to this thread, last week I purchased a Mityvac 7000.[thumbsup] 
It does make bleeding the brakes really easy. I bled the front and rear brake right away after I took delivery of the mityvac, it was much easier than when I bled the clutch.

right on!  [thumbsup] although I still stand by my cheapo HF version of the mityvac. It looks like the exact same thing for half the price, and looking close at it I really don't see much that can fail. It's a pretty simple concept.
