Have any of you had any problems with them? A friend of mine said they'll leak if torqued too tight (obviously something that would be one's own fault), and to use an epoxy compound when installing to prevent leakage...

I just don't want to be dealing with a finicky bleeder valve and would rather go thru the trouble of bleeding brakes the long way rather than risk a fluid leak.

Opinions from anyone who already has them installed?

I picked them up from PDM (a little bit more than you'd pay if you went to autozone) and have had nothing but good experiences with them! I installed them when doing a complete brake overhaul, and it made the bleeding process a heckuva lot easier! I wouldn't even consider going back to regular bleeder screws!

I have them too and have had no problems. I like them a lot!
