One problem is that some bleed nipples will always draw air through the threads, though sometimes a few turns of Teflon tape will fix that , as Major has stated. Second is the fit of the hose on the nipple, third is the dufus who always manages to kick the jar over, and fourth is that sometimes it takes two people with hose/ jam jar approach.
I bought them when I was chasing a brake which would not bleed properly - fitting a Speed bleeder eliminated bleeding technique and isolated the fault to a caliper seal which was drawing air but not leaking enough to drip.

I was in a man lift at 90 ft working on my smaller tower yesterday. I started to find blood on tools, so I looked around and found it on both hands, all over them. Finally, I realized that it was my blood. I didn't feel a thing. I became a speed bleeder.
We all paid for this man lift. It goes to 130 ft and will lift a ton. Very nice indeed. The local Internet server got a government grant for 3/4 of the over 1/2 million $$ to buy it. Unlike most of you, I was able to profit directly from the tax bite. The tower will become a high speed microwave hot spot for our area. We will get free Internet. Well, the new buyer will get it. We will be gone.
The grant was for providing Internet access to country areas like this. He was using it for the intended purpose. What a super nice rig. We completely removed my 108 ft tower in just over 2 hours. It took me two people a whole day just to stack it. That didn't include the many days of installing the antennas.
