Message	was also just as bad. For me 3/4 held pressure just fine and do not leak, the 4th leaked and leaked and leaked...etc.... Long story stort, after tightening the bleeder too much to stop the leaking, it stripped out the aluminum threads in the caliper. Since then i went back to normal bleeders and no longer have a problem with leaks. It also took off the paint on my stock wheels which i'll be refinishing come spring time....again....
