Painless Lancing Device Blood Lancet Pen Sterile Gold Plated of Third Generation with +50pcs 23G Needles

This is most likely the best Lancet tool I have ever found. the spring is strong but not over powering. I test my blood sugar four times a day. Buy this over the cheap plastic ones that will be dead in a month or two that will be dead in two or three months if you test multiple times a day.

It works so good.

I've been checking my sugar levels for about 15 years and I've had this for a few weeks now since my last plastic one stopped holding lancets after wearing out. This one has a good metal heft and delivers the lancet with more of a 'thud' than a 'prick' so is less painful. I think it will last a long time before wearing out. Pros: Durable metal heft Less painful than other devices Price point Cons: It's not very intuitive for setting the depth with the knurled screw in the middle and would be good if there were some kind of indicator to let you know you have a consistent setting with the number of threads exposed. It doesn't have a lancet release mechanism so you need to pull it out directly rather than using a release push mechanism like most others.

The product description implies there are number adjustments...there aren't. You have to unscrew a nut and keep adjusting until you find a comfortable spot...which I never did find since even all the way out, the puncture is too deep. While the item is pretty and resembles a pen...I'd stick (pun intended) with the ones made by the blood test strip companies. This one hurts too much to test 5 times a day with.

Pen is *ok*. Inconsistent depth... If you push the button harder/faster it goes deeper. Additionally, the shirt clip is sharp and metallic and can cut the threads of your shirt if you're not careful. The lancets it comes with are the worst trash. Don't use them, period. They are thick and dull and EVIL. Buy some butterfly touch lancets or something. Three stars because clipping a lancet pen to your shirt is pretty cool idea but man the product needs some improvement.

. . Really Nice Lancet Device adds class to a less than pleasant procedure. Two small issues though you can adjust to them and they become not so bad. First issue to adjust the depth of the strike you have to counter turn a threaded collar but every time you replace the lancet you loose the depth setting. Second issue the cup that seats the Lancet is not sufficiently deep enough and the lancet gets cocked at an angle and can and does on occasion hang up but tapping the pen seems to release it. I like the ability to do immediate multiple lancing it clicks just like a ballpoint pen. Overall its a nice, hefty, and a comfortable feel it seems well made and sturdy. But time will tell all.

Works great when I need it

This is the second one i have bought as I lost the tip for previous one. This is an updated design. Easy to adjust with the gnarled turn ring, though i do wish it was tighter as it turns when taking the tip off and back on, but a little tape on it cures that. The lancets the VA supplies me often aren't exactly the same with the pricking point varying in length so the adjuster is perfect due to that. I recommend this for everyone that Cto check their blood. I set mine to just the right setting to make a slight prick and often don't even feel it, and have to check to make sure the blood shows ans is a sufficient drop.
