Default Speed Brake Bleeder Valves

Has anyone ever used speed brake bleeder valves. While scrolling through Pelican Parts I came across these.

http://www.pelicanparts.com/catalog/...MISCLL_pg9.htm

This is the Pelican description:

These little valves are the latest innovation in bleeding your brakes! With the Speed Bleeder Valves, you can now truly make bleeding your brakes a one-person operation, fast and easy! Once installed, these valves become a permanent part of your brake system. The Speed Bleeders contain a small check valve that prevents air from entering back into the system once the old fluid exits. To bleed your brake system, simply open the valves and stomp on the brake pedal a few times. There are 2 bleeder valves and dust caps per package.

Sounds like a good idea in theory but just curious as to anyone's experience with them.

I use 'em. I had one dud that leaked when I changed them all out. It makes solo bleeding a lot easier.

One more mechanical part to go wrong. Get a Motive bleeder and you don't need those things.

Had them on the 951. Hated them and removed.
