Any one used these?

http://www.speedbleeder.com/

Don't need them right now but I bet they would be worth there price on a
newly fitted system. Especially the likes of the 101 which are legendary in
there awkwardness to bleed.

nice idea, but it doesn't solve the biggest problem you might encounter, and
that's seized-in bleed nipples.

Pressure bleeding is the ideal, IMHO. found the relatively cheap easi-bleed
to work well, considering the cheapness, and it bleeds things that otherwise
won't by gravity alone, like 110 clutch cylinders...

My prefered system is the Easi-bleed, cheap too. I've used others, but
always prefer this one. The other advantage of this system is with it
fitted, you go round to each bleed nipple and can see exactly what's
happening as air is expelled etc, with the speedbleeder you have to put
a pipe on it then return to pumping the pedal, and seeing what's going
on isn't going to be easy I'm guessing.

I do like the Easybleed but even that refused to sort the 101 when the need
arose. Mityvac has it's praises sung on high by many 101's which basically
sucks fluid from the nipple and saves faffing around with missing seals ;-)

I've not got one but would like to add one to the bits to go missing when
you need them shelf.

I have a nasty feeling that the fluid reservoirs on my 101 might
explode if i stuck an easybleed on them and pressurised it!

Twas aluminium. The problem is that to get 'em made by anyone in the UK
would cost 90 quid a piece, even CNC etc etc. I could get them made in
China or Taiwan for about 25 quid a piece, or even less, but I still
balk at "Chinese" and "Landrover" in the same sentence.
