speed bleeder

Has anyone installed a set of speed bleeders to their brake systems? Russell Performance maskes some, Summit sales them for about $9.00. I was thinking of picking up a set, but was wondering what your opinions are on this. The speed bleeders allows you to bleed the brakes by your self. Here is a lin...

If the manual doesn't say we need that tool, how do you know when to stop adjusting the brake? Thanks for your help, I'll try and take a look today or tomorrow.
