Works but hose is leaking. I ordered a replacement, the replacement hose flows worse than the first. All factory pinch hoses leak, so make sure you put the bottle down or buy another hose. I might try a third one, but given the track record, I can assume they're all licking. In the long run, this can end up wasting more argon than it was worth saving a few bucks on a cheap regulator. It might be wiser to just buy a better one from the start.
