That would make it much easier replacing the hose too - it's one of the few jobs
that really can't be done single-handed on my carbed car and reminds me why I
got married*.  ;-)
Even bleeding brakes can be done single-handed with a simple slit valve in the
run-out hose.

* Note - my stomach also gives me a nice reminder at meal times.  ;-)
