Warning: That cheap knockoff pouring shank cost me a full shift
Bought a no-name pouring shank online for half the price of our usual brand. It cracked on the third pour, right at the threaded joint. Lost about 8 hours of production time while we shut down to replace it and clean the spill. Anyone have a go-to brand for these that actually holds up?

Yeah, I was totally with kimh67 on this for a long time. I figured a metal tube is a metal tube, why pay more? Then one split right down the seam on a busy Friday, soaked a keg and the floor. The downtime and lost beer cost way more than the shank ever saved. Now I just buy the known brands and sleep better.

We switched to Perlick shanks after a similar mess and they've been solid for years.
