Neil has a good point here, although a pressure bleeder certainly is the crap
(censoring myself there in case anyone was overtly offened by my assertion,
odd that crap in this instance really implies something whereas my original term
really doesn't so much...)  too much pressure can cause issue with aged resevoir
to MC grommets.  Probably can't blow a clutch line off as they are usually pretty
tightly on, but they may seep as well.  I don't think you'll rupture a resevoir or have
fluid squirting all about even at 20psi or so, but you may well seep on the bottom.
 
Tis a risk, but they work nicely.  Sure you could home fab one easily but I've seen
the Euro adapter only one for $45 or so, hard to beat for that money.

Though not the same as the Motive, the pressure bleeder I built
pressurizes the system with air. From what I've read, one has to be
careful not to put the fluid reservoir under too much pressure. IIRC,
even 12 PSI was enough to push fluid through system.

Very useful tool and not hard to make.

Neil.
