Yeah, I've had them on for a couple of years now, and haven't had a single problem with them. They really make brake bleeding an easy task.

Godd stuff. Huge bargain for what it does. Definately going onto every car I own from here on.

Have had them over a year in my SER with no problems. Just have to remember to crack them open *just* a little have them work the best.

I've lost the rubber nipples that go over the bleeders long ago but they still work great.

No more bribing friends to help you bleed the brakes! :D

Speedbleeders are one of the first things I do to any car. Bleeding brakes becomes trivial. Had them for years on 2 different car, no problems.

I believe Pep Boys has them. At least they do around here.

Alright, this past weekend I put Speed Bleeders on my car along with goodridge stainless steel lines and the NX2K brakes. This was my first time bleeding brakes and everything went well, but what is the difference between these and the regular bleeders? By the way, I got mine from Isidro in Fl along with the lines, I got a pretty good price... oh and if you are going to install them, it is 3/8" and not 10mm like I thought (and kinda messed up two).

They contain a check valve that garuntees you won't suck air back into the caliper when you release the brake pedal.

Be careful when loosening these. They use a soft metal.
