    If it were me I wouldn't dump toxic brake fluid it into the local water table when two dollars of tubing and 15 extra seconds of time per wheel to put a container under it will avoid it.

    I agree Ken./ I use a piece of tube on mine when I bleed them by hand

    I have a piece of clear tubing long enough to run into a gallon jug, works like a charm.
    Brake fluid discolors my shop floor.......... oil/anti-freeze/transmission fluid/gear oil don't, just brake fluid........I hate that.

    Glycol is highly poisonous, and can cause kidney failure and death.

    That being said, ANY amount being spilled should be contained and cleaned up.
    You should wear laytex gloves when working with this product .
    People are cautious now with Antifreeze, because of the media frenzy about the glycol, so there should be the same extreme caution used with brake fluid
