you understand correctly, we are talking about a bleeding kit, its a tool just like an Allen key or a screw driver. According to a lot posters im a difficult person, but I think that a bike mechanic shop should have at least the basic tools. I have the impression that a lot of posters don't have an idea what a bleeding kit is. As a bike shop, if you don't have a bleeding kit in your day to day operations of your maintenance shop, you are simply not able to work on the brakes of the majority of the bikes that are sold today (any hydraulic disc operated brakes).
