    The only outfit that sells replacement pins as far as I can tell

    Cons

    I ordered three - to have some spares. Two of them broke of on the first fuel test. The third is hanging on a thread. I am now out shopping for a durable version - perhaps the jeppesen fuel tester with a metal probe....

    The "shaft" of this pin is too large, and fuel barely dribbles out of the drain. Is there a thinner shaft available?

    Better than buying a whole new fuel tester.

    Could be made of something more durable than plastic.

    The device is very brittle and breaks easily. I got three of them with the same result. My fuel tester is of no use to me.

    Cheaper than buying a new tester

    Very brittle. Again one (of six) was broken in shipping. Really need to protect the extended end while the fuel sampler is not in use.

    they break if you try to pull them out of the tester when checking fuel on a piper. I now have one tester with a metal pin for my cessna and a tester with no pin for the piper.

    Can't really think of any.

    Cons

    Broke so many of these pins even while being extremely careful that I bought a heavier duty product. Pins break in your flight bag, in the tester, when it's warm, when it's cold, using them, just about whenever you don't want them to!
