Default Best Remote Clutch Bleeder ?

Guys:

I'm just wondering what is the best quality "Remote Clutch Bleeder" ?

I want to get one with a speed bleeder so I can do this myself.

I see TPE makes one that looks nice.

Tick has a nice One man bleeder too. Nice price too !

Installed the Tick when I did my Clutch,great product-I change my clutch fluid when I change my oil-fluid change takes about a minute.
I ran a piece of vacuum hose from the remote bleeder fitting to down behind the L.F.wheel,and clipped it to the bottom edge of the fender liner(you can leave it there)-then,when you bleed the clutch,you just slide a little pan under there to catch the fluid-keeps it out of the engine bay,and away from the paint.

@Carcass or others

I have that remote bleeder also although not sure on the exact brand, had that installed with the LS7 clutch a few months ago. Question might be obvious but since I have not used one before, how do you go about the fluid and bleed procedure?

I installed a Tick remote bleeder when I put in the new slave.

Quality product - no problems for over a year. Fast shipping, good packing, A++.
