Subject:bleeding brakes

I notice that the Bus Depot has "Wrench, Brake Bleeder & Flare Nut, All Air-
Cooled & Vanagon except 46-49 Beetle."  Is this necessary or can I just use a normal
set of tools to crack open the brake bleeder valves?

Haynes suggests a one-man brake bleeding kit.  Anyone have a brand they find works
well for them or is this superfluous?

Thanks,
