Awesome - thanks!

Thanks! But, hey - if everybody searched for everything, the forum would be almost silent - with the exception of oil threads!!!

Personally I've never had any luck with them , I always end up doing it the old school way and it never takes more than 20 mins even for duals. The little spring loaded bleeder valves while pricey work well too.

I only had to try them once and it was enough to make a believer out of me. I have them on everything that I own that has brakes that sooner or later need bleeding.

They're definitely worth it. unlike the search function on the site.

I tried using them on my 64 Impala, 2 of them leaked, I could not get them
to seal. Part of the problem was that they were too short, and hard to get a wrench on.
I took them out and tossed them in the trash!
They do have good customer service though. I emailed them about replacements, and they refunded my entire order including shipping.
Now, that's good customer service!
