Pool Dawgies are the best. I make my own but not really consistent enuff as I rarely or have a way of measuring the pressure that I put on the Tip Presses. I go by feel.
They are just for me and I have installed a couple with no complaints. I make a few and have installed what I like the best.
But, I generally will use Dawgies for Customers installs and myself.
They play great and are all consistent. For his price, you can't go wrong to buy yourself a half dozen.
