When the pedal is pushed it forces fluid past the relief valve and as soon as the pedal is released the valve shuts - so you can pump all you want as long as fluid is in the reservoir of the MC. You don't need pressure or vacuum bleeder pumps.

They are how I finally got my ERA bleed out. But I thought back in the early part of your thread that you had these on your calipers ???
I have them on the rear calipers (GM Metric) and they are clean and work really well. The Sierra's have 1/8" bleeders, I could not find speed bleeders to fit the calipers. I take that back, I just found a 1/4-28 speed bleeder that fits in the 1/8" NPT housing.
