Our thoughts:
The BKM-1.2 is the gold standard for mineral oil brake bleeds, the sheer range of included adapters means you'll rarely be caught without the right fitting, whether you're bleeding a friends's Shimano levers or your own Magura calipers. The mountable syringe holders are a small detail that makes a real difference to workflow when you're doing bleeds regularly. Just remember it's mineral oil only, if you need to bleed DOT fluid brakes, you'll want the BKD-1.2 instead.
