Let me start by saying this nozzle looks promising on paper - the stainless steel spout and swivel feature had me excited for smooth fuel transfers. The hook design is genuinely useful when you need to hang it mid-task.

The good: When it works, the flow rate is impressive. I tested it transferring diesel between tanks and appreciated the 12 GPM rating. The seal held tight with no leaks during my whiskey barrel filling experiments (yes, I tried that too!). The swivel action prevents hose kinking beautifully.

The bad: That squeeze handle? Total letdown. Mine started sticking after just 3 days of moderate use. By week's end, it required two hands to operate - defeating the whole 'manual' purpose. The plastic body feels cheaper than expected for the price point.

Final verdict: It's a decent temporary solution if you need occasional light-duty transfers, but frequent users should look for something more heavy-duty. That flow rate is tempting, but durability issues make this a maybe-not purchase.
