Would that sprinkler valve be ok for a "No Drill" mod?
Price of the valve?
Brand if possible?
This is sort of a question for killa but anyone please...

You are not alone killa. before going to bigger and better things, I too ruined a sprinkler valve. (later, I used it as ammo. It flew a long way before hitting a tree)

I had the same problem killa, but i think its the blowguns at bunnings. I bought 3 different brands and all of them released the air to slowly. Put a 1/4 ball valve on it, as you know have and it works.
try it on your next modded valve.

Killa, you may well be gaining power, but what I voiced was not a doubt - it was what I would have expected.

If you say you you're gaining power, I'm not challenging you. I merely wouldn't expect that result.
