JoeValve Testers Needed

[Joe]

Thanks for that!

well so far my joe valve hasnt melted and got screwed up like the ones i get from interlink

[Scott_S]

Well ordered another 100ft hose from wanders. Got all the goodies on it too.

I might be a year into the usage of mine.... still works perfect. No leaks. The only sign of wear is obviously the rounded (used to be red) handle and when it is in the "off" position, the handle twists a little further than it used to. Totally expected that, especially considering I use an electric hose reel and it has the power to yank small shrubs out if I'm not watching.

Same mine. One with the hole leaks from the hole, one with pinch is perfect- no leaking. Almost one year old

Ordered 6 of the new valves about 1 year ago.. Have had no leaks or failures yet. Great valve harder to turn on and off then the cheap ones. Note we use Butlers & Hydramaster cds with out heat boosters.

[Joe]

Thanks for the update Duane.
I was wondering.

[sabsfour]

my joe valves are holding up great best valve so far I use them on my water hoses and pressure hoses for at least 6 months now

[Joe]

Thanks Rob.
We finally got one that holds up for awhile.

Goes good with my High Heat Hose,
You guys who don't have it are missing out.
But no rush. I'll have it til the ice caps melt.

I have 2 hoses each with a joe valve, and my pro1200se hasn't cooked any of them. been 3 months with the first hose so far, and no problems.

i can however put on a cheap valve and kill it in 1 week.

[TheAmbassadorPros]

Is there still a need for testers?
I am new here and just saw the post.
I would love to test one out!!

[Joe]

Testing on this was over a long time ago.

[Scott_S]

the valves are bad ass. they last forever compared to the black flip knob ones everyone else buys.

[MJM]

Great info. Very frustrating working with the black handle valve. Slightest bump opens this valve when changing tools and pressurizes hose making connections a nightmare. Did not understand if there was a trick I was unaware of or this was a common issue with these cheap valves. Gotta get some of these to try.

[DaveV]

Joe Valve's are sweet. 4 months no issues drag , drop them still good.

[sabsfour]

I got my joe valves going on 6 months best valves
Out there

[MJM]

Yes, this valve is a game changer for me. Quality piece of gear that is well designed. It's a must have.

[Joe]

It happened here. This place is a good proving grounds.

Rotovac also recently perfected their tool here too, thanks to you guys, especially WhiteGlove.
You don't hear them knocking it on the other boards anymore do you.
It was cuz ya'll helped them get it right.
Tell the truth. Shame the Devil.

Btw, I've gone ahead and made a new spring for the Hydroforce gun, so it's truly no-drip, even at high pressure, where a couple of you guys from here told me it needed fixing. It's fixed.
Anybody want this spring just remind me at time of your next order and I'll carefully pack it in there.

Imagine a gun that shuts off completely each time you let off the trigger. Not another drop!
Damn you guys are spoiled.

Joe how long does the stiffness of valve to take in order for it to open, one order from wanders month ago seems really stiff when you turn valve on been using it two weeks now but they seem pretty sturdy, heard they was best valve to buy so bought one

[Joe]

Users would be the best to answer this question.

I would like a count of how many would like a simple tool - to carry on your keychain or tools like spinners - that would give you more leverage (lengthen the red lever) so it's easier to turn under high pressure. It could also make it cool to the touch while turning.
