Oh, heck no!

Motive Products makes a fantastic unit geared for (and priced for) the home 
hobby mechanic.   

http://www.motiveproducts.com/

They make various adapters that thread right on to different applications.  
 The generic European adapter works perfectly with the stock brake master 
cylinder and clutch master cylinder reservoirs (it does NOT work with the 
junk Wilkinson clutch master reservoir, which is a made-in-China threaded cap, 
so if you buy a Wilkinson unit, you need to swap the reservoir over from 
your old one).   The rectangular universal adapter works with most of the 
aftermarket masters that the Pantera vendors have used over the years, and they 
probably have one that fits the CNC clutch master too.

I can tell you that their 'black label' adapters, which are a bit more 
expensive, are worth every penny.   I can tell you this because I *don't* have 
them, and wish that I did!
