speed bleeders - opinions

I am considering getting a set of speedbleeders. I would like to get some feedback from any of you who have used these. Did anyone develop leaks or have trouble with them after long term use? Are they a good idea?
Thanks!

I don't have any experience w/ them personally, but I've heard/read only good things about them. I will probably get a set for all 4 corners next year when I rebleed my brakes.

they are the best, had a set on my mustang and have them on my max. id still recomend bleeding the old fashoned way even with the bleeders just to be sure, but you dont have to. they are also very freindly and easy to deal with. $32 shipped for the whole set.

Didn't use that particular brand, but watched my buddy use something similar on his motorcycle and hand-built dune buggy. They were awesome, especially during a race when he kept getting air in his lines. Instead of wasting time looking for the leak or fixing it, he just kept pumping his brakes and topping off to get to the finish line. Not the best reason to get them of course, but shows you what a lifesaver they can be.

Goto the north american subaru impreza owners club forum and get them there. There's a seller that has them for cheap. Be sure to request the proper size.
