Which is better BD or Nipro syringes?

I was searching for information on syringes and stumbled upon this forum.
This seems like the perfect place to ask so here goes...

I've never used a Nipro brand syringe before, but just found some 1cc luer lock ones for half the price of the 1cc BD luer locks I've been buying.

I'm not real thrilled with the action on the BD, they seem a little loose and wobbly when extended and the action tends to bind a little after the first use so I was wondering if anyone has used a 1cc Nipro LL syringe and can give me an opinion of how it compares to the BD ones?

Thanks in advance for any advice before I buy a box.

Edit - I just found Excel brand 1cc luer locks for even cheaper. Anyone have any experience with that brand either?

I've used both and I like them both equally. They are both very good. I have nipros now and i am happy with them.
 
I've used Excel needles before, but not the syringes. Quality was above expectation. That being said, I prefer Terumo.

Thanks for the replies.

I was actually just asking about the syringe bodies and plunger action.
Needles are disposable, but I didn't want to order a box of cheap syringes only to find out they're junk that won't last more than a couple of uses.

Sounds like no one has any complaints about any of the 3 brands I mentioned so I'll go with the best price.

It seems that you want to re-use syringes... why? You're taking a risk doing that. Just use a new syringe for each pin.
 
i wouldnt suggest using your syringes more than once. they are not expensive, why risk anything.
 
Thanks for the concern and good advice, and I agree that for pinning, needles and syringes should be single use, but I'm looking at reselling these particular syringes as reusable measuring tools in a market unrelated to bodybuilding so the quality of the syringe is more important.
 
you really aren't going to find any significant difference in the quality of a syringe... they're all designed to be used once and thrown away.
