IMHO, the Solo bleeders do not leak like speed bleeders. Slight design difference.

I've used both and they are both effective. The thread sealant is critical to the speedbleeders so if you use them alot you will need to maintain it. You don't have the same issue with the solo bleeders. Since I may bleed my brakes more than a dozen times a year I have taken to the solo bleeders.
I saw in a couple old threads that you went back to 2 person bleeding, since you were having problems with the Speed Bleeders. Now that you are using the Solo Bleeders, are you able to do 1 person bleeding? How long have you been using the solo bleeders?

Do you have any pictures of them, or have a link to some pictures or drawings?

Thanks! I like those better. I found them on MotorHead.com for $24 shipped.

What do you torque them to? What fluid do you recommend?

Really!? That seems scarry. So there aren't any torque numbers out there? It seems like they would work their way loose over time. "Finger tight" is different for everyone. I would hope that there would be SOME torque numbers (ie. 32-40 In-Lbs).
