These seem like such a good idea. Any thoughts - pros/cons?

I use compressed air with a pressure regulator/water filter feeding a cap on the reservoir. No need for the speed bleeders then, just walk around and bleed. I put a hose on each bleed nipple before I start to bleed, and have four bottles ready, one for each caliper (the hoses feed into the bottle of course). I pressurize, bleed, fill, bleed, fill and when done top up.
It helps to have a lift but I used to do it that way with jackstands too.
cheers,
Mike

I've used speed bleeders on a number of cars and think they're great. I have them on my 87 911 and they made brake fluid change a snap.

Had them on my 82 SC and now I have them on my 964. Highly recommended. Makes bleeding a breeze. My new Motive Black pressure bleeder is still in the box laying on a shelf.

I had these on a BMW M3. They were ok for a while, then started to leak. You got to be very careful on torquing them. They can leak under pressure (when you hit the brakes).
I really liked being able to bleed the brakes @ the track with only a bottle & tube. But in the end, I put the stock bleeders back in after a year.
