Speed Bleeders are cool. They are a bleeder nipple with a check valve built-in
to allow easier one-man bleeding. See them at www.speedbleeder.com. I searched
the list archives for information on them and most people say they're great. I
ordered one since I've just converted my clutch hydraulics to silicone. If I
like this one, I will probably change the 4 brake nipples to Speed Bleeders. The
only drawback I see is the expense. But each one is cheaper than an Ameritrade
stock trade!
