Default Nope, two different things.

You can extract oil, but you cannot extract brake fluid. Brake fluid needs to be pressurized and forced out the valves.
I wouln't want to dry out a master cylinder by extracting out all the fluid.

Default The power extractor I mentioned has a pressurized brake fluid extractor...

I wanted to know from a cleaning/contamination standpoint.

Default Do you have a link to it? I have two - one for brakes and one for oil...

Would have been nice to have a two in one unit. The brake unit pressurizes the brake fluid res and pushes out. The oil extractor creates a suction pressure to suck the oil out. Two completly different things. The work pretty well, by the way.
