I have the same one as Buttermilk.

It's worth being aware that it also works just fine with a "normal" disposable needle, and no steri-cap.

Personally, I think the injector gun is worthwhile for the needle guard alone. It just makes it so much less likely that you'll inject yourself, compared with a standard syringe.

yes i agree womble
we tried it last year with needle and syringe but it was pletty time consuming and fiddly.
