I bought the jiggler syphon from hf yesterday. I was going to buy the standard syphon tube with the ball in the middle that you squeeze. I never heard of a jiggler syphon so for $7, what the heck.
Itç—´ a good idea with poor execution, imho. You see a lot of that, good ideas are like opinions. Great execution is.....hard to find!
Problem was the packaging. The 5 ft tube was not only too short, my fault, but it was also mashed into an almost flat oval. Thatç—´ because when they roll it up they attach it to the cardboard with zip ties and its 100 degrees out.
I let it sit in the Carolina sun yesterday trying to un mash it but, no way.
Of course the oval shape won稚 carry the volume a circle will. I won a bet on that once.
The metal gadget on the end that makes it work is probably worth the $7 dollars and since the tube was was too short anyway, no harm done.
So.............
I went to Loweç—´ last nite, 8:30 pm, Friday nite, always raining. Thatç—´ the only time to go, imho.
They had a 20 ft roll of clear plastic tubing, perfect. $24. I don稚 blame them but, Nope.
I致e learned. I used to think, make a quality product and sell it as cheap as you can and Own the market. Nope.
The truth is, in general, make an product that people will swallow and sell it for as much as you possibly can!
The syphon sort of worked and I think if I find a decent tube, it will work fine. Kinda neat idea!
But to spend $7 for the gadget and $25 more, just to make it work? Nope
But you know that when you go to harbor freight.
