They are a little hand vac pump, a catch can for the fluid, and some rubber hose and adapters. Take the cap off the brake reservoir (so the fluid can flow easy), stick the rubber hose on the bleeder and crack it open, and pump pump pump till it starts to flow on its own. Occasionally you will need to pump again to keep it flowing but it's really easy. Then when you have pulled enough fluid through, close the bleeder and move to the next.
Not to mention I find other uses for the vac pump such as testing vac ports.

Bleeding brakes doesn't have to be a chore at all. If you don't have one, go to Checker/PepBoys/Harbor Freight/etc. and get one of the hand operated brake bleeding pumps/kits. It makes bleeding brakes a 15 min job on a car so a bike should be what 5?

It was ruined. Since then i went and bought a one man kit from autozone for 5 bucks. Same thing you just pump the brake by hand to push the fluid out. Did my wifes car in about 30 mins cause the bottle is kinda small for a car but for a bike its perfect.
