I recently came across these while replacing my front brake lines and thought I'd share. Basically they make bleeding brakes a one person job and saved my wife a lot of pumping. All you have to do is crack the bleeder a quarter turn and pump the brakes. It has a valve inside of it that opens and closes with each pump. Seriously it's the best 20 bucks I've ever spent on the car. Summit has them here -

Now I just have to find a good flaring tool that doesn't break after 1 use.

Speed bleeders, they have some on ebay mostly for bikes. I'll probably get some for my bike when I get ready to rebuild the brakes.

I'd shop around, those are expensive for two. Ames has them in their catalog for $22 - they're $9 from summit. I paid less than 20 for all four, they come in packs of two.

Sprint will these fit front and rear break drums? I noticed they say front disc..My car has drums all around. This is a good product to have..
