Our thoughts:
The BKD-1.2 covers everything you need for DOT fluid brake bleeds, with the SRAM Bleeding Edge fitting being a particularly handy inclusion given how common that system is on modern road and gravel bikes. The mountable syringe holders make solo bleeds noticeably easier, and the rugged case keeps everything organized between jobs. Just remember it's DOT fluid only, for mineral oil brakes, you'll want the BKM-1.2 instead.
