this is a big improvement over the cheaper basters I have always bought.I store the tips inside the tube when I am not using it.

This baster never worked! The bulb is supposed to screw onto the baster, which is a nice idea and you would think it would work better than those that just slide on. However, the seal is terrible. There was absolutely no pressure no matter how many times we tried to rescrew it on. It wasn't even leaky like other basters I've tried, it just never took up any liquid. Do not buy.

Neither of the tips on this baster does what it looks like it should do. The 'sprinkler' head just drips instead of showering. The injector tip doesn't inject anything. After I investigated this, I found out that you need an actual syringe to inject meat. Because basters don't have complete vacuums -- like syringes do -- this baster doesn't have the power necessary to inject fluids into meat.

Lame. Why do companies make stuff they know won't/doesn't work?

First time I used it, the threads in the baster attachment became stripped. I then tried the injector, which doesn't so much inject as it does puncture and flood. What appealed to me was the dual-purpose design of this baster, but the design is seriously flawed. Any time you have plastic threads that are less than millimeters wide, you're going to have issues - and I should have noticed that. If this baster, or any one for that matter, doesn't have an airtight seal, it won't draw fluids or hold them. Like those DVD/VHS players we used to have - great idea in theory, bad in practice.

To echo a previous sentiment, how could a company like this put something that clearly does not work out on the market? I just don't get it.

The two tips are nice, but I wish it also had just a "regular" tip.

I've had this for years and am finally getting rid of it after realizing every time I go to use it the bulb won't stay sealed and it never works. I didn't go to use it too often so I often thought it was the mix I was injecting...but no it's the item. I'm also slightly confused because it's threaded, but on the inside of the staff part where the bulb attaches, not the outside, so it doesn't actually screw into anything on the bulb. The needle does screw on. Save yourself the hassle, get something else.

This one is great - I even purchased 3 others as gifts for the family.

The concept of this product, especially the dual tips, etc., is very good, but like other basters, the seal around the rubber bulb becomes loose after initial few uses and then the baster becomes leaky. It's an okay baster but don't hold a high expectation.

IT LOOKS REALLY COOL , I TRIED TO INJECT , HONEY INTO A HAM BUT THE NEEDLE KEPT GETTING CLOGGED, WITH NO EASY WAY TO CLEAN IT , THE NEEDLE SHOULD BE LARGER.

I broke an old plastic baster and decided to buy a new one. This one met all of my expectations. I really like the stainless steel tip.
