Autozone: Self brake bleeders, any good?

I saw a one person brake bleeder for about 7$. I thought it might be useful to have because the 2 person job is too hard and speed bleeders are not worth it imo.

It has a magnet that lets you attach the bottle to a piece of metal and i guess a one way valve. Has anyone used this piece before and if so, how is it?

I've used that thing and it never worked well for me... It would get some air out, but not like doing it with two people.

It has worked well for me. I normally use a mighty-vac but the cheapo does work well. Just make sure you get the plastic tip inserted into the nipple firmly.

I am going to try it sometime soon with the new z06 setup I am putting on the 86. I had to buy some cheap tools from harbor freight and they had one on sale for 1.99 so I picked it up.
