Bit expensive though if its just for home use, but i'd advise a cheapo one if they work that is

ive got a gunsons pressure bleeding kit. £12 from halfrauds, one of the best tools i ever bought. makes the job so much easier, cleaner, quicker and does it much better than the plastic tube and jar method.
