Anyone using Speed Bleeders?

I was looking in jegs and noticed they're selling speed bleeders for $10/pair and from the sounds of it, it would be a great thing to have if you don't have a friend to help you bleed the brakes. Are they worth the $10 and how easy/hard are they to install?? Also, they have a dozen different sizes .... what size do I need for my thirdgen brake system?? Thanks in advance.

I've run them before and they are great.
Just remove your old stock bleeders and put in the new.
When you want/need to bleed your brakes, just loosen a 1/4 turn, slowly pump the brakes 2 or 3 times, then tighten. Then do the next closest in the same manner. Make sure your fluid level is OK and then your done.

,,,and well worth the money.

Thanks, I appreciate the opinions. I'll probably get a set of them. What size do I need though? Any idea? Also, there's just one on each side side right, front and back since I have 4 wheel disc. So I need 4 total?

They're sold in pairs. I had the part numbers in another post somewhere, but I can't seem to find it in a search.
