I have the one where you put a fitting on a reservoir and you pressurize the bleeder canister with a hand pump.

It works fast and saves your master cylinder from all that foot pumping.

Just make sure you depressurize it before you remove it.

If so my comment is that they did not work very well for me. My experience was they still let some air into the system.

It appears that cristuna is referring to a pressure bleeder. If so they work very well and that is the only method I use. Makes it a one-person job.
I use the pressure bleeder. Been using it for years. Easy peasy nice and easy.
