1" PVC Slip Ball Valve

This was installed and I thought it would be easier to turn after some use. I turned the valve over and over, even put some oil on it. Installed it and when I go to turn the valve it's almost impossible. It feels like the handle will break off when i turn it as it's so hard to turn. I can turn it but I feel it's a game of Russian roulette and could snap any time I try to move it. Found a cheap add on valve on Amazon I bought as a spare and it was far better so I removed this one and threw it away.

Absolute junk, can't believe still sold on Amazon. Ball would not move without great force, could not return it because I broke it attempting to make it work.

I purchased (2) of these slip pvc valves and both valves leaked around the stem that runs from the handle to the ball inside the valve..These valves are junk and I wished I could get my money back..
