 or you can buy them on Ebay and take your chances.
Remember you only get what you pay for .... if you are lucky.

Well... I had to ask.  Now I recall all the responses to Lucas products. Thought price was too low for any quality.

I would really like to know if there is a particular brand that is better and for what reason(s) - spray pattern, durability???.  I see so many on the internet I'm completely confused.
