There are some serious safety concerns with that for me. I don’t want up to 2,000psi in my brake system at all times for say a week or more. Sure to cause issues over time and failures here could cost a pretty penny. Then for me there’s the issue of accidentally pulling this handle (kids etc) depending on where you install it. I sound like an old grandpa now
