    I have never liked speed bleeders because air can be sucked in past the threads when bleeding. Stahlbus looks like the properly engineered solution. I'd like to see some comments from users. Here in the colonies,they are retailed by Agg Racing in Texas.

    Get a helper and one of these:

    Amazon.com: Genesis Cable Bleeder Bottle: Automotive

    That, some reading about basic brake bleeding and you will be very happy. Skip all the gizmos. I bought them all. This, my brain, a wrench and wife as helper is all I use now.

    You may need to add some adapter pieces of hose to fit your bleed nipple but that's about it.

    I bought a set for my C5 Corvette--about $167 for four. They work! What an easy one-man bleed. Nice German engineering. You have to sit in the car and use leg pressure to overcome the check valves--my arm wouldn't do the job.
