    Excellent Fuel Tester
    Pros

    After purchasing countless fuel testers for the past 25 years, this tester is by far the best in quality. I would recommend it to all pilots.

    Well constructed and quite durable. No more fuel on your hands with the splash guard. The metal actuator pin is long enough to push up the valve for a quick test. The reversable screwdriver is also very handy.

    Cons

    None. Performs as advertised

    General Comments

    You won't be disappointed. Good value for the money.

    Pros

    Very durable... been using it for 2 years and there's no sign of the plastic getting brittle or any other concerns. The splash guard is also a nice feature, though not always needed.

    Cons

    The splash guard makes this a little combersome to store... it won't fit in the holders meant for strainers in most flight bags when the guard is on the side.

    General Comments

    I fly rented/club planes and appreciate knowing I'll have my own tester in my bag and don't have to go hunting in the bagage compartment or seat-back pocket to find the one in the plane, only to find it in pieces.

    General Comments

    I had the one with the replacement pin before, NEVER AGAIN. It just cracked the wall of the tube because the pin was pushing on it.

    The fuel cups on the other hand waste a lot of fuel, and they're not great for quick drain valves that are at an angle.. like on the side of the engine of a Piper Seneca.
