even though i dont have the one pictured(i think its the wrong pic. for the product). Dont blow o-rings, dont waste air, easy to turn on and off but not too easy.Price
Weaknesses:
Nothing except it is a little easy to take off, but if you tighten it down nice and tight and check it before games, youll be fine.
Conclusion:
its the best out, i like it. its well worth the money, BUy it i reccommend it.
If you own a co2 tank this should definetly be your first upgrade. Its simple and easy to use and its saves you a ton of o-rings. No more asking your friends to help you unscrew your tank so you don't lose air or ruin your o-ring.
Weaknesses:
Its a little pricey at 18 bucks but thats not important.
Conclusion:
Excellent buy! You definetly want to buy it if you shoot co2. It saves you a lot of stress, co2 and o-rings.
The valve does it's job, unlike others I've encountered. It's pretty easy, a short turn opens or closes the valve, where as many other on/off valves require a large turn.
Weaknesses:
Very little. However, after an incident where the person at the fill station seriously screwed up filling up the tank, ever since it's taken considerably longer to shoot out the rest of the air after turning the valve off. Make sure the filler knows it's an on/off tank.
Conclusion:
I think it's an excellent valve. Does it's job with no problems. I've seen other On/Off's break - that's a mess. I'll be trying Pro Team Product's On/Off soon, however, so stay tuned...
Does not leak. Easy to open and easy to install.
I like that I can service the valve. the only part needed
is a small o-ring, spare provided, which makes it work like
new.
Weaknesses:
slightly expensive but worth it!!!
Conclusion:
I would use one of these with an anti-siphon on all my
tanks. The best co2 part out there.

Review:
one day i went to farm and home to get my co2 filled ( they can't fill for poo), and my pin got held down and it all leaked out so i went and got an on/off (22.00). then i went to the local paintball shop and had it installed( 5.00). needless to say the next time i filled it it sat there for a while and eventually all leaked out and my o-ring literally disenagrated no where to be found
but keep in mind i left mine out for a really long time and don't let my story stop you
Conclusion:
it does what it's suppose to do so it gets a 10.
there's my 17.6 billion rubels worth (00.02)
