Quick Sniper Hand Dredge - Gold Mining Equipment (Quick Sniper Hand Dredge)

This is actually a cool product and works great if you know how to use it correctly. There's a lot of comments saying it doesn't work but it does. And yes, it's made from parts from a hardware store but it's legit and works as it should. My only advice to the manufacturer is to have some brief directions. To the people who say it doesn't seal and won't suck or work, you have to get the leather wet and "work it" while folding it out. This will create a seal. Plus, the tip needs to be fully extended to the seal tape to create a seal as well.Don't pay attention to the ratings. These are people who cannot figure out how it works but in their defense there isn't any directions.I've used it a few times already and love it. It stores nicely in my prospecting bag with my sluce and pans.It's too bad the ratings are low because this is a decent product and it's from a small business which I totally support.Hopefully this review reaches someone who is on the fence about buying it or someone that has one and doesn't know how to use it

No suction, falls apart easy. you could build this your self cheaper.

by the looks of it it'll work, haven't tried it yet. only thing to note is not to be surprised when u open the box and think "gosh for 80 bucks i coulda made this". all in all still is what they advertised and for the materials and labor involved its not astronomically priced or anything. i made the mistake of expecting a fully fabricated item, not something entirely made of store bought pvc.

I was a little afraid at first because out of the box I couldn't seem to get any suction. I called the number provided with the product and was greeted by a friendly gentleman who let me know that I might have to stretch out the leather plunger a bit and get it wet. In less than 20 seconds it was working wonders! A really cool feature is it allows you to do multiple pumps before collecting, similar to how a snuffer bottle works. Highly recommend, it is well built.

I have used it twice and the plunger inside looks wore out already so I can see it’s not going to last very long. For the price it should last a while

Apparently this company is some guy putting together plastic plumbing parts. It falls apart with very loose tolerances. It does not suction water which was the sole purpose of the thing. I wouldn’t recommend paying more than $5 for this trash product. YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINTED

Used it four time and it worked fIne, until the leather grommet tore in several places. And I can't find anybody that sells them. If anybody has knowledge of where I can get replacements, plz let me know.

Does not work. Poorly made. A rip-off! Zero rating except Amazon demanded star rating or wouldn't accept my review.
