Funny.  I’ve been using them for years on a dozen different cars and always had good results.

When they first came out I tried a set, I threw them away for all the same reasons.

They need to be tight enough not to leak while someone is pumping the brakes. You can’t bleed with a socket on it. The problem is that the crappy bleed screws that are inappropriately metric because they are made in Asia also have crappy threads, a crappy seat, and are made of crappy metal.

On both of mine the clutch and caliper nipples are the same hex size.

Wheel cylinders are quite a bit smaller so not surprising the bleed nipples are smaller.

How tight do you need them to be?  If they round-off it's the screw that is the problem.  Use a socket for initial loosening and final tightening, in my 3/8" drive socket set they go down to 4mm and 3/16".

I can see why — it is a uselessly tiny size. Appropriate for fine instruments, perhaps, but seriously undersized for anything that needs actual tightening, like a bleed screw.
