Default speed bleeder? has anyone used them

like the topic says...has anyone used them? do you like them? i dont always have help from friends or the time to get them to help me so i was thinking bout getting some since my lines are filled with air and the pedal goes straight to the floor when on but will build pressure when the motor is off. thanks guys in advance.

Ive heard good things about them. Fortunately my fiancee likes helping. FYI if you have an O'Reilly's auto parts near-by they stock speedbleeders.

What's this for? The clutch bleeder?

SB8125L for the clutch slave

SB10125 for the brake calipers

somebody please explain to me how speedbleeders make bleeding brakes a 1-man job? If you're sitting in the driver seat, how are you supposed to see the fluid flow coming out of each bleeder?

I've also read of several ITR guys chunking their speedbleeders due to failure.

I'm using bleeders made by Earl's. They're one-way valves that are held closed with a spring unless fluid is being forced out. I haven't had any problems with them.
