While pipettes of the traditional design, either glass or heavy plastic, and often with a rubber bulb, are not hugely expensive to purchase, they are surely not as cost effective as AK Interactive's disposable offering. When using a pipette of any design, residue will often remain even after extensive flushing and cleaning. Any cured residue runs risk of chipping and flaking thus ending up in your airbrush's paint cup and eventually the nozzle. The scope of such a headache can easily be visualized! AK Interactive's pipettes are thin walled yet durable providing a safe initial use for all of your hobby products. Continued reuse is for as long as you the user deems appropriate for their hobby operations. Their clear plastic design allows for positive visual study of both the the level of fluid contained within as well as a post-use flushing and drying inspection. Their reasonable price and multi-packaging gives the user opportunity to keep a number in active use and on your workbench such as for thinners, enamel based weathering products, and acrylic paints, etc. After all, cross contamination would likely be second headache [which also can be easily visualized]!

These are solid pipettes to use for mixing paints and pulling from the jars. The only complaint is they are not offered in larger packages and do not have volume markers on the side (as seen on pipettes used in essential oils or other venues). Otherwise, they do the trick and are recommended.

Great product works very well for the price and shipping was fast
