The company is AST.  The adaptor is stamped "TA 18", that may be the
P/N. It comes sans quick-conect plug, threaded 1/4 NPT.  SnapOn bleeders
require "T" style, others are different.  Any auto parts store should be
able to fix you up if you bring in the bleeder.
 
I got mine adaptor by flagging down a Mac truck.  AST has their own
catalog.  Two SnapOn dealers I talked to didn't know anything about this
company, but SnapOn's (800) folks can get it, if you tell them "AST" and
"41 mm dia".
