Meat Injector Marinade Gun Stainless Steel Outdoor Kit Flavor Food Syringes & 4 Marinades Needles for BBQ Grill Smoker Injectors Professional Syringe Held Culinary Barbecue Tool

The needles would not seat and kept coming loose. I returned. Try an exchange. But the same problem.Well, I knew the twist on connector (a steel collar with side slots into which the needle flange should seat) was not properly machined, preventing the needle seat. I disassembled the whole needling assembly so that I had only the collar (you must unscrew the piece that attaches to the injector body because it also serves to compress the needle flanges). With two pliers, one each for the collar and the needle, screw the needle in forcefully so that it works through the miss-machined obstruction and the flanges make the slots. The needle will still feel loose. Re-assemble, the small part that connects to the injector body presses the needle flanges.Tight needle! Good to go! I have not tried to change a needle (I am happy to have the big one seated) and I'd give some probability to, in trying to remove a needle, the needle flanges not catching the collar's twist thread, since we've once already forced the needle flanges through the twist thread. Which would make it a one needle machine. This thing is a beast! I injected four cups of cure through a twenty pound raw ham in about an hour. It would have been only thirty minutes, but the defective needle had to be tightened with every injection. I especially like that the plunger squeeze force (on the wall of the injector body) is adjustable.

Item appeared to be of decent quality at first glance but I was unable to get any of the injector needles to tighten into the injector gun. Seemed like it was either improperly machined or perhaps missing an O-ring that would allow the needle to tighten into the gun. Messaged the Seller and they said some "micro-movement" may be possible...this was not micro movement...the needle would wobble from side to side at least an inch and work it's way out of the injector. Too bad.

i love this thing sometimes it might leak but most of time it works greatit lets my inject my meats. the needles should have been the screw on typethat's where the sometimes leaks happens if you don't make sure its on tight enough

This is a great product. It makes injecting marinade a lot easier. I highly recommend it.
