I have a brass one with "wings", they don't hurt my fingers like the
smaller ones do.

In the past I have snapped the head off a stiff vent screw and had to
replace the radiator. I was probably using pliers to increase leverage,
but it is something to think about.

I must admit, I prefer the ones with the bleed valves on the ends.
Easier to access and you can change the whole bleed valve if the needle
gets stuck.
