.....bleed screws that are some how automatic. Open the 1/2 turn and you just pump the pedal. My guess is that there is a check valve in them.

Is this just hype or do they work?
William,

They are called Speed Bleeders, and you are correct, there is a check valve that opens with hydraulic pressure. They pretty much make the 2 person pump, pump, pump, open routine a one person task. I've used them with good success, but honestly, I was able to get a firmer pedal with the Motive and a rubber hammer against the calipers.
