Actually, a bolt or allen head for this new bleeder would be a better idea. I always need to cinch up my bleeder screw with pliers or vice grips to effect a tight seal.
Great idea Thomas.

 Doesn't look too hard
 to create one yourself.

 A
 brass M6x15 screew, drilled with a 2mm hole 10 mm deep from
 the end
 and then a 2 mm hole perpendicular
 into the hole and a copper gasket and
 you
 are done.

 If you can get a
 knurled screew it would be perfect.
