Re: Speed Bleeders
Ball bearing, machined socket and quick spring action I'd expect to be quite good I reckon.
$7 each was for standard and $15 for stainless steel - if you were going to keep your car a long time then I'd suggest it would work out ok, for a one off not so much.
Gus should get a set for sure - knowing how much Dave loves a brake fluid change

Hmmm.....New Tech stuff, I don't know about that.......
Besides, the Missus is a fully trained pedal pumper and she costs nothing.
Hey, but still no calliper/piston problems. With changes of fluid every 2/3 years, I think that proves fluid changes are the thing to do.
Yeh, those little bleeders look quite neat......

Re: Speed Bleeders
Wishing this thread had gone up before I ordered a set of stainless normal nipples 
Mind you, and to be fair having recently seen the appalling state of corrosion a pair of calipers get themselves into over the years, I might not want a corroded spring-loaded ballbearing to be all that stands between hydraulic pressure and no brakes, ten years down the line 
Given how infrequently the brakes get bled, I'm not sure if adding complexity is worthwhile. After all, as we know if there's a way for something to go wrong the Rotary Gods will find it 
Anyhoo, I bought these...
