Yes, I knew what you meant. It is not convenient to constantly change tools w=
hen one is dealing with a nasty corrosive liquid, rubber hoses and glass jar=
s. Every time you disengage the hose, all the fluid escapes, requiring that m=
any more pumps the next time. One cannot always know when the circuit has be=
en adequately bled until one tightens every bleeder and tests the pedal. One=
 frequently has to repeat the process at each wheel. This is why a tiny, fra=
gile hex on the bleeder is a particular annoyance, and one that should be en=
tirely unnecessary.
