Default Who makes an F-body Remote Bleeder that DOESN'T require a crush washer?

Just wondering if anyone makes a remote bleeder for the F-Body that doesn't require the use of a copper crush washer. I'd rather have the factory style fitting on the end of the bleeder than rely on a crush washer; I can find several alternatives for the Corvettes but I'm not sure if they'd work on an F-Body trans.

Thanks in advance.

Never had an issue with the crush washer design myself.

Thanks guys. Was hoping for something that replicated the stock bleeder but I'll just go with the Tick.

If I remember correctly Monster's speed bleeder does not use a crush washer.

The best and least expensive remote bleeder is a longer version of the bleeder screw/nut, what I did is I cut a small piece of another bleeder screw and welded it to my current bleeder screw it sticks out of the housing but not enough to touch the body, as I have said, cheap, easy to use and durable.
