Very cool.
Wow, that is actually really cool. Wonder if I could get my employer on board to distribute them?
That would make so many jobs a lot faster/easier.
That's pretty cool. I can think of a few jobs that I'd like to have that for.
Ricky like!
Holy crap that's awesome. I can't tell you how much that would come in handy.
I'm shocked this isn't already a thing.
Wait until you blow the bottle connector, just once, spewing the shop with oil. You won't love it nearly so much then.
He's also carefully not showing the way it sprays and squirts by having the bottle full of air pressure. The home made ones (it's a decades old idea) continue to squirt fluid out the line until the bottle is empty. An inline valve to cut flow means the bottle itself spews messily when you disconnect it, blowing the pressure off.

That is what I was thinking, what is so hard about some flex tubing and a small peristaltic pump driven by a drill. At least then the pump can be reversed and everything goes back into the bottle. Plus it would not cost 300$.
I didn't realize it pressurized the bottle. Hmmm, I have one of those brake bleeders that pressurizes the master cylinder. One time the master cylinder blew off its O-ringed mount, hitting the garage ceiling and spraying brake fluid everywhere. Because of that experience and mess, this product suddenly seems less awesome.
I'm pretty sure he just filled up a transmission with cranberry juice cocktail. That seems problematic.
Find a worn out air ratchet and one of those odd little pumps driven by the speedo cable on 80's Hondas. A bit of pipe and some welding skills and its free.
Can a juice bottle really take 145 psi (max recommended)? Seems like a lot unless some internal regulator. Gonna hafta try that, ya know... for backyard science sake.
There has to be a regulator on it as 145psi in a bottle will throw fluid 10 years out the tube no issue depending on the ID of the tube.
Again this is what we do at work and I do at home with a old pump head.
Is it pressurizing the bottles or using a venturi to siphon?
My shop uses a couple of different pressurized or hand pump fluid movers. This setup seems to be the quickest and easiest though.
It says that the container is automatically pressurized to 15psi. I added compressed air to a 1qt gear oil to speed up the process once. The bottle was inverted with a hose connector screwed on. It all started with poking a little hole in the bottom of the can to vent. It ended with "hey, I can add a little compressed air with my blowgun.....BOOM." Went off like a bomb in my face and baptized me in gear oil. That was probably 30psi, when I twitched a little.
I hope he gets funded, then these will be available at Harbor Freight in 2017. (sad, but true.)

It says it's regulated. I recall those bottles taking at least 135, impressive report when you shoot one with a .22 at that pressure. The soft waxy plastic bottles blow a lot sooner, 50-100psi.
I will now have to start experimentation w/ air pressure on juice and plastic bottles... reminds me of my yoof.
... and I have better equipment now. 
His video presents a huge corporate style no no.
He is putting fluids into non properly marked bottles such as oil into juice bottle. Now you have no MSDS and or haz markings, warnings, placards.
The point he is missing is that if the oil could stay in a proper 5L jug with all the proper manufacturer markings this in itself would be seen as a benefit to the corporate world.

Easy enough to have one trigger add pressure to the bottle to start flow, and another trigger to release pressure to stop flow.

This for real. I was thinking while I watched how much of a pain in the butt it would be to have to transfer fluid first. And your point takes it to the next level.
WANT!
I use an old electric fuel pump to fill manual and auto transmissions. Doesn't work so good with thick gear oil, pumps slowly.
sweeet.... just thinking of the horrors(messy-ness) of swapping gear oil, this devices looks good... and well engineered!
