fwiw on the speed bleeders I use them and if you work alone they are a labor saver. True one man manual bleeding.

Now for the cons. You might have to buy the sealant. It's a bit of a PIA in that you apply it & then have to bake it at 140 or 160 in the oven for 15 min to cure it. Obviously you will not need it if you get your brakes right & do a one time bleeding session and you are finished. If you make mods in steps and bleed after each step, then you will need the sealant. I found after the 3rd or 4th bleed it will need a reapply to be 100%.

Pros: their stuff was so reasonably priced ( JMHO ) that I bought the bleeders, 4 bags & hoses, and a tube of sealant all at the same time. The shipping was lightening and everything worked as advertised. I felt their stuff made for a very clean job, no fluid on the garage floor & just an easy bleed out.
