Self Bleed Kits

I was browsing some of the Facebook groups and stumbled across a link to some self bleed kits. I wondered if anyone had used them and what they thought? The description wasn’t that detailed but It seems to expel any trapped air back to the expansion tank by fitting a bit more rubber tubing.

Can't decide about those. Some swear by them, some aren't convinced. My only thought is why did Mazda not implement the idea if it was a ready solution to a problem they knew the diesel and v6 Bongos had (the problem doesnt apply to the 2l engine). Then again, Mazda didn't fit a low coolant alarm!
