I agree about the bottles, but instead of switching you could try prying off the top of the squeeze bottles and transferring the contents into a screw cap vial or brown bottle of some sort. That's what I do with the Elite kit contents,since I never use drops of secondary and ABC reagent, but measure it out with pipettes.

Help,  I need to know some opinions on an AEC kit, to replace mine.  I love
the reagents and the results, but can no longer tolerate the little hard
sided squeeze bottles!  It it just too painful to deal with, and would like
to know of another AEC that is as good as Vector's. Hopefully, they are
looking in, and also in the future get rid of those little bricks we have
to squeeze!  I rarely complain, well, almost! but this has gone beyond the
beyond.  So it is switch, rather than fight! tossing in the towel! My
finger joints will thank me. 

So recommendations please!  I would prefer a simple method of making it up,
two step.  Tired of having sore fingers insulted by ergonomically incorrect
squeeze bottles!  What a bummer! Other vendors should be "squeezed" into
rethinking their packaging also.

Putting the "squeeze" on after feeling "squeezed" myself!
