Yeah Voodoo, that's exactly what I'm getting at.
If you only bleed the brakes every two years, then the pressure bleeder is overkill. I bleed mine before every track day and sometimes between sessions if the pedal gets soft.
It all depends on how much you use it.

How you figure? How do you hold down the pedal and close the bleed value?
No "gadget arm" needed.

I've used the loop thing too and it doesn't always work. Even with the pressure bleeder I loop up to prevent any air bubbles from returning (force of habbit I guess).
The problem I've run into is air passing through the threads on the bleeder screw. That's the whole point of the 2 man bleed, you've only got the bleeder open when there's positive pressure in the system so no air can infiltate back in.
One trick I've used is a loop of teflon tape on the bleeder screws to prevent air infiltration through the threads. That helps.
As for the clutch MC, I'd have to look at it again. I used the standard head that comes with it. I remember it had to be nearly sideways when I got it on tight.

speed bleeder(s):
small, built-in to the car, easy to use and install
i usally wait a day than re bleed
air passing through the threads:
dont know how critical it is since there might lurk a small amount of air in the system after bleeding anyway.

Any pics by chance?
