Default Gunson Eazibleed any good?

As above really have fitted my braided brake lines and bled up but my old ball bearing type bleeder is knackered really and would like to get hold of something better just to get rid of the last bit of sponginess.
What do you all use, is the Gunson one any good? Your thoughts please

I bought one, but either through my incompentence or the crap product, I couldnt get the cap (I also bought the different cap fitting pack) to secure on the top of the brake fluid resevoir with enough pressure to make it work. Either I had enough pressure to start to bleed but the cap leaked, or the cap staed on by the pressure was too low. I seem to remember using a spare tyre set at about 10 psi as they recommended.

Went back to borrowing the wife for 10 mins and shouting 'pedal down, pedal up' a lot!

Having read bits of info about it I feared the cap fit would be a problem, I would just like something a bit better than the old ball bearing one way valve. Anyone able to explain the gravity bleed idea? I suppose you just open the nipple and let it flow?

If you have a compressor, these are very good.
