Hi -
Saw this site http://speedbleeder.zoovy.com/ and would like any users
input - [good or bad] before I decide about a purchase. Gimmick, junk,
greatest thing since sliced bread? They also offer a stainless steel
"upgrade"? Any comments using stainless versus the original steel
"bleeders"?? Thanks in advance.

Speedbleeders are for real, and are very handy if you don't have a vacuum
pump. I've used them before, and they work very well. The stainless would
be less likely to freeze up (rust) in the caliper, so if you're in a climate
that's prone to rust, the stainless may be worth the extra money.

I've used them for years....and yes they work and rather well...

I need to bleed the brakes on 3 of my older Corvettes every spring..
the calibers do not leak but over time they start to suck air into the
system... Speed bleeders just made the job a lot easier since I did
not have to go track down the wife...

However I have been using Motive Products PressureBleeder for the last
3-4 years which I find well worth the 100 bucks...much easier and
faster...
