Pinz Disapointed

[buffsthestuff]

researchlabsupply.com has pinz cheap the thing I like about them is you can buy any quanity you want instead of the set quanities from most other places I was getting my pinz local at the pharmacy but it turns out they are a little bit cheaper at RLS not to mention they arrive at my door in 3 days you should check them out they are top notch in my book

If there is a safety issue here we need to get to the bottom of it now. People are upset because the needles hurt?? I think the question that should be going through everyones mind right now is are they sterile?? I am not making accusations , but if there is an issue we need to know asap! This is serious buisness. I noticed that a 23g 1.5 was bent too.

Someone post up a pic. Remember pins are sealed in a tamper proof/evident plastic contaienr with lot#, id, and expiration date. If that is not oppen they are sterile.
When did you guys get these pins that they are bent. I have yet to see jack.

This thread is funny and scary at the same time. "Resharpen" needles would be the cheap of the cheapest things in the world! I'm sure that happens in mexico or south america but here? gimme a break...I'm gonna check every single needle under the magnifying glass from now on..

I have noticed the quality of pinz products is not what it used to be.
Finding 1 1/2 23g are bent and burred.
I don't thing they are resharpening anything just poor manufacturing and quality checks...
get what you pay for I guess.

I will test out some new ones from them and let you guys know. I will post pictures and results.

Anyone with problems post the problem and lot#....also post the expiration date and type of pin and company.

Let me clarify what I meant by "bent". I have around 25 23g 1.5 terumo syringes with needles attacched. If you take some of the un-opened ones and hold em up and look at em you can see that the end of some of the needles are just about touching the side of the protective sheath. When you open them and rotate the syringe you can see that the needles are not straight. Either they are bent , or the metal part of the needle is straight but it is not mounted (glued) in the plastic part 100% straight. This may just be due to variances in the manufacturing process. (I hope) Other than this the pins are perfect. They are made in usa & have a lot # that could be checked. I hope I did not add fuel to the fire, but when I saw the word "resharpened " I almost shit my self..

I've seen junkies resharpen their needles on the striker of a matchbook. I guess if you're willing to share anything goes???

Got my discreetly shipped box of 100 today from androusa at noon or so. Express mail-no sig. needed-heard my doorbell and they were sitting on my porch. I love when that happens! Going to spot inject bis later-will post feedback.
