I have used these with little sucess not US ones I admit, they were good to bleed but I always had air in as the valves were fine when new but over a shortime developed leaks in the system plus with the internal mechanism they are very easy to damage when you undo them as the wall is thinner than standard.

My 10 cents is PS with the sit in the car bit and me running round with a spanner, jar and fluid never had a problem.

Never seen a race team use them either. something else to go wrong and brakes are really useful.

I always use a vacuum bleeder powered by compressor. One man operation, efficient, clean, fast.
